You might think that IELTS on computer is the same as IELTS online. At first glance they look the same, but they are not. IELTS on computer is taken in an official centre like ours, and has exactly the same validity as IELTS on paper, whereas IELTS online is taken at home.
If you have a choice, here's why IELTS on computer is the more practical, safer and easier option.
How are they different?
Although both are computer-based, there are important details that set them apart:
Why take IELTS by computer with us?
At our centre we have everything ready for you to come, sit down, and concentrate on getting it right:
✅ Quiet, undisturbed environment – No noise, no WiFi drops, no annoying neighbours.
✅ Technology ready for you – Computers, headphones, connection: everything works. If anything happens, we'll sort it out for you.
✅ Full support - We help you before, during and after the exam. You will not be left on your own if faced with a problem.
✅ Fast results - Typically in just 1 or 2 days (maximum 5).
✅ Speaking at the same place - Face-to-face or by video call, but without any hassle or platforms.
🎯 Important fact: IELTS online is only available in the Academic version. It is not suitable for migration and not all universities accept it.
So which one to choose?
If you can go to a centre like CERTIFY, don't hesitate: IELTS on computer is the most reliable and recognised option. It takes the hassle away and you focus on what's important: getting a good score.
