IELTS is an English language proficiency test that was created by a selection of the world’s best language assessment experts. Organisations, universities, and institutions across the globe now recognise IELTS as one of the most trusted English language proficiency tests.
Those who take the IELTS test will have their language assessed in four key areas: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. By recognising IELTS, institutions can be confident that applicants have the skills and knowledge to fully immerse themselves and perform their best.
IELTS is universally accepted in Canada as it is fully compatible with the Canadian Language Benchmarks.
