IELTS Recognising organisations

Who accepts IELTS?

IELTS is accepted by more government agencies, educational institutions, and professional bodies than any other English-language test.

Which organisations accept IELTS scores?

Choosing IELTS gives you more options for the future. IELTS is accepted by more than 11,500 organisations in over 140 countries. This includes:

Universities, schools, training colleges and tertiary institutes

Government departments and agencies

Professional and industry bodies

Companies and employers

What IELTS score do you need?

Universities, colleges, employers and migration bodies each set their own IELTS score requirements, depending on the level of English they require for their purposes.

That's why the score you are asked to demonstrate for entry to high school is different from the score you are asked to demonstrate for professional registration.

It's always best to confirm the score you need directly with your chosen organisation.
