What is IELTS
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a globally recognized assessment used to gauge the English language proficiency of individuals aspiring to study, work, or immigrate to English-speaking countries. This evaluation measures four essential language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The test is presented in two main formats: academic, for those pursuing higher education, and general training, focusing on practical language skills essential for work and migration purposes.
