IELTS

IELTS tests the complete range of English language skills which will commonly be encountered by students while studying or getting trained in the medium of English.

IELTS is accepted by many professional organisations including the New Zealand Immigration Service, the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, the Australian and U.K Medical Council.
