IELTS
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It is designed to assess the English language ability of people who want to study or work where English is the language of communication.
IELTS is the world’s proven English test. Since its launch in 1989, IELTS has pioneered English language testing, measuring ability to communicate in English across all four language skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Over time, IELTS has been proven and trusted worldwide to provide a secure, global, authentic and customer-focused test which measures true-to-life ability to communicate in English. Today, IELTS continues to be one of the fastest growing English language tests in the world, and still sets the standard for integrity, research and innovation for other English language tests to follow. Thousands of educational institutions, government agencies and professional organizations throughout the world recognize IELTS scores as a trusted and valid indicator of ability to communicate in English.
In BC two providers, Global Village Vancouver and Simon Fraser University, offer the test up to four times per month at a range of locations. Full details can be found on the websites.
