IELTS Associate Overview
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a set of tests designed to assist you in working, studying, or migrating to a country where English is the primary language. This covers Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Every year, almost three million people take this test. More than 11,000 employers, universities, institutions, and immigration authorities around the world recognize IELTS. During the test, your abilities to listen, read, write, and communicate in English will be evaluated. The IELTS exam is graded on a scale of 1 to 9.
IELTS preparation entails understanding the test format, how it is graded, and then devising a strategy to achieve the desired score. To do so, you will need to enhance your English language abilities, practice test skills, and enroll in a preparation course to track your progress before taking the final test.
IELTS for study
Every year, about 3.7 million students study abroad.
Many students pursue their education in English-speaking countries such as New Zealand, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. There are numerous advantages to studying in an English-speaking country. It may also enable you to specialize in a certain profession or find work when you complete your studies. More than 11,000 education and training providers across the world accept IELTS. If the course is delivered in English, several colleges in non-English speaking nations also require an IELTS score.
IELTS for migration
In Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, IELTS is accepted as proof of English language proficiency for study, work, and migration.
Each country establishes its own IELTS criteria. The requirements for your scores will also change depending on your visa requirements and where you plan to study or work.
IELTS for work
English is the world’s third most widely spoken language. Taking the IELTS test and getting a score of 6 or higher can significantly improve your job prospects. It also shows employers that you are serious about working and living in the country.
Organizations all over the world rely on IELTS to help them hire the best individuals.
Many of the IELTS-accepting registration bodies are from the healthcare profession. This includes industries such as nursing, medicine, and pharmacy, where English language proficiency is essential.
Accounting, engineering, law, and veterinary practice are some of the other professions that require an IELTS score in specific countries.
IELTS is also required by a wide range of other employers in industries such as finance, government, construction, energy, aviation, and tourism.
Test Format
IELTS is divided into two categories: Academic and General Training. The Listening and Speaking tests are the same for all test takers, but the Reading and Writing tests are different. Make certain that you prepare for the appropriate type of test.
The Listening, Reading, and Writing sections are completed on the same day, with no breaks in between. However, the Speaking section can be completed up to a week before or after the other tests. The test lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes in total.
IELTS Academic
The IELTS Academic test is designed for students who intend to study in an English-speaking community or a university (higher education). IELTS Academic can also be used for professional registration.
Students can request that their IELTS results be sent to five different organizations for free. Sending results to additional organizations incurs a fee. As long as your IELTS scores are valid, you can ask your center to send your results.
IELTS General Training
The IELTS General Training test is appropriate for students applying to study at a lower level than a bachelor’s degree. This includes a school or college that uses English as the medium of instruction & teaching.
IELTS General Training is also required for migration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The test focuses on everyday English language skills that you will need in social and professional settings.
Test format
In IELTS, there are four papers: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. There are two different IELTS modules: Academic and General Training. The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both modules, but the Reading and Writing tests are different.
Academic module
Choose this if you wish to study at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, or if you are seeking professional registration, e.g. doctors and nurses
General Training module
Choose this if you wish to migrate to an English-speaking country, (e.g. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK) or if you wish to train or study at below degree level.

We start new courses/sessions mostly every Monday.
We register the candidates for the final test. Just contact our administration department, submit your ID details and fee and the job will be done.
Our instructors conduct an initial assessment prior to placing students in any level. The assessment results are used to designate the level of each student.
Send us your message on WhatsApp, call us on UAN: 051-111-189-190, or visit us in person to schedule the classe.
Besides physical classes, ICD also offers online courses to accommodate remote learners or learners who are unable to attend in-person classes due to any other problem.
