The IELTS test is offered in two formats – IELTS Academic and General Training.

The Academic format is designed for those who want to study or train in a university that teaches in English at undergraduate or postgraduate level or institutions of higher and further education. Many professions (e.g. medical, nursing, accounting, engineering) also require an Academic test result for registration purposes.

The General Training format is for those who are going to English-speaking countries to do secondary education, work experience or training programs. This version of the test may be a visa requirement if you are planning to migrate to English speaking countries.

IELTS is accepted globally by more than 10,000 organisations including universities, professional bodies, employers and student visa and migration applications. The IELTS General Training test is the only non-academic test of English accepted for migration to Australia.

Which IELTS test do you need?

Computer-delivered test is the same as paper-based test in terms of test content and structure. The difference is you will see the questions on the screen and instead of writing the answers on paper you will type on the keyboard. The results for paper-based tests are released in 13 days, however for computer-delivered tests, the results are released in 2-7 days.
