IELTS (International English Language Testing System) Centers Are Open

IELTS test centers are now up and running — 161 of them! — in locations around the world, and the safety of our test takers and our staff is our priority. For this reason, we are closely following the instructions from authorities and are managing our activities according to official guidelines.

Along with offering you free preparation material, we’re taking extra measures to keep you safe on test day. We regularly sterilize our test venues, we have hand sanitizer available for you to use, and we ensure that social distancing measures are followed. 

You can choose between taking your IELTS test on paper or on a computer. Please go to takeielts.org to see which options are available at your nearest test center.
