IELTS TEST
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) evaluates candidates’ general English communication skills. The students are tested on all four-language skills in English language such as listening, reading, writing and speaking.
IELTS has been administered since 1989 and has proven to be trusted worldwide, to supply a protected, international, genuine and customer-focused test, which calculates the students’ ability to communicate in English. Over 3800 educational institutions, government agencies and professional organizations across 120 countries around the world identify IELTS scores as a reliable and convincing pointer of skills to communicate in English.
The IELTS is one of the best rising English language tests in the world with around 500,000 tests taken every year and hence lays down the standard in reliability, investigation and originality.
Most UK universities and other institutions requires applicants to provide an appraisal of the applicant's standard of English being offered admission to a course of study. Some of the immigration authorities in quite a few countries necessitate the applicants to take the IELTS test. The test takes a whole day to complete and costs about DKK 1650. Candidates will receive their results two weeks from the test date.
The IELTS matches the highest international standards of language assessment.
