The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test for higher education and global migration. It assesses all of your English skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and is designed to reflect how you will use English at study, at work, and at play, in your new life abroad. Future Target Institute is an official British Council IELTS Exam Venue and a registration center for both the British Council and IDP, making it a convenient location for candidates to book their exams, receive training, and take the test all in one place.

IELTS is available in two test formats: IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. The IELTS Academic test is intended for those who want to pursue higher education or professional registration in an English-speaking environment. The IELTS General Training test is designed for those who are planning to migrate to an English-speaking country (e.g., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK) or to undertake training programs, work experience, or secondary education.

Both IDP and the British Council offer IELTS testing services in Dubai, with numerous test dates and locations available for your convenience. Whether you choose to take the IELTS test on a computer or on paper, you can rest assured that both formats are accepted by more than 10,000 organizations globally, including universities, employers, professional associations, and governments.

Future Target Institute hosts over 4000+ exams from Pearson VUE, PSI, Prometric, British Council, PTE, NATA, NMDCAT, and many more. This makes it an ideal location for those looking to take various certification exams in addition to IELTS. You can register for the IELTS test by visiting the IDP or British Council websites or by visiting Future Target Institute. Registration requires a clean color scan or photo of your passport and a credit/debit card for payment. It is recommended to book your test at least a month in advance to secure your preferred date.

The IELTS exam structure is divided into four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The Listening and Reading sections consist of multiple-choice questions and are designed to test your ability to understand spoken and written English in various contexts. The Writing section includes two tasks that require you to write an essay and a short response. The Speaking section is a face-to-face interview with an examiner, where you will be asked to discuss various topics.

IELTS tests are available at Future Target Institute in both the IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training formats. We offer a range of dates and flexible timings to cater to your needs. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff ensure that you have the best possible testing experience.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam fee as of 2025, with both IDP & The British Council, is AED 1370 for Computer Delivered, AED 1270 for Paper Based.

In addition to the IELTS exam and training services, candidates may also require supplementary services to support their application or test experience. These optional services, offered by both IDP and the British Council, come with additional fees and are designed to ensure flexibility, convenience, and support throughout the IELTS journey.

The OSR (One Skill Retake) service allows candidates to retake just one skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) instead of the full test. This is ideal for those who performed well in most sections but need improvement in a single area. The OSR is available for both standard and UKVI computer-based IELTS formats.

EOR (Enquiry on Results) gives candidates the option to request a re-evaluation of one or more sections of their test if they believe their score does not reflect their true performance. It is conducted by senior examiners and takes approximately 2 to 21 days.

Extra TRF (Test Report Form) fees apply when you need additional copies of your result beyond the initial ones. Extra TRF Courier charges depend on delivery location—local or international—ensuring your documents arrive safely and on time.

If you need to reschedule your Speaking test or the full Exam Date due to unforeseen circumstances, a corresponding fee is applicable. These services help accommodate scheduling needs while maintaining test integrity and fairness.

Lost your original result? You can request a Replacement of IELTS TRF. For further review beyond an EOR, you may apply for an IELTS Appeal, which includes a complete re-check across all components.
