Why choose IELTS
It is recognised by more than 11,000 organisations worldwide and by the leading European universities, and it is an entry requirement for English-language study courses, often asked for even for short periods of study abroad.
Universities, companies and public bodies worldwide accept IELTS as proof of English level.
A single exam certifies the level reached under the Common European Framework, from B1 up to C2.
