Employers, professional bodies and associations accept IELTS

Organisations around the world rely on IELTS to help them select the right people.

Professional registration

In most countries where English is the main language of communication, evidence of acceptable English language skills is a prerequisite for applicants and international graduates seeking professional registration. Required proficiency levels vary between organizations, professions, by country and by jurisdiction. It is up to individual professional registration bodies to determine the IELTS band score and version of the test (Academic or General Training) they require.

IELTS for vocational training

The General Training version of IELTS measures English language proficiency in a practical, everyday context and the tasks and texts reflect both workplace and social situations. 

This is the version of the test usually required for vocational training, for example in the construction, hospitality and leisure, and tourism industries.
