Introduction to IELTS
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's most popular high-stakes English language proficiency test. Recognized by over 10,000 organizations globally, including universities, employers, professional bodies, and immigration authorities, IELTS provides a reliable measure of a candidate's ability to communicate in English across all four language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge Assessment English. It was established in 1989 and has since become a trusted benchmark for English language proficiency worldwide. The test is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication.
Key features of IELTS include:
- Fair to all test takers, regardless of nationality, cultural background, gender, or special needs
- Measures the full range of English language skills that you may encounter when studying or working abroad
- Uses a face-to-face speaking test to assess your communication skills
- Provides results within 13 calendar days
- Offers tests up to four times a month, allowing you to choose a time convenient for you
At Future Target Institute, we offer both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training tests, catering to different purposes and career paths.
