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.
