Why should organisations recognise IELTS? 

Communicating in English is critical for success for people working, studying or moving to an English-speaking country. As an organisation that recognises IELTS, you can trust your applicant's English language skills in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Different test types are available, depending on whether you require your applicants to use English in an academic or everyday context. 

IELTS helps you find the right people for your institution, profession or business.
