IELTS Academic
For people wishing to attend a university or environment where English is the primary language, the IELTS Academic test is appropriate (higher education). For the purpose of professional registration, you can also take IELTS Academic.
The exam gauges your readiness to start studying in English. It uses terminology that is common in academic contexts.
GENERAL IELTS TRAINING
IELTS General Training is appropriate for applicants who want to study below the degree level. This includes a school or college with an English-speaking population. It may also be used for internships or other forms of employment training.
Also necessary for immigration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK is IELTS General Training. The test covers common English language abilities that you’ll need in social and professional settings.
Which sort of IELTS test is best for me?
You should take the IELTS Academic test if you intend to study abroad in an English-speaking nation.
The IELTS General Training test is advised for immigration or work.
