Since 1989, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) has been a global standardized English test designed to assess the English language abilities of non-native English speakers who plan to study or work where English is the language of communication. IELTS administered over 3 million tests in the last year, and is the world’s most popular high-stakes English proficiency test for study, work, and migration. Accepted by more than 10,000 organizations worldwide, IELTS provides a fair, accurate and reliable assessment of language skills. IELTS is jointly owned by a global partnership of education and language experts – British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English. Cambridge is responsible for IELTS test development due to their world-renowned language and research expertise. British Council and IDP are responsible for IELTS test delivery throughout the world due to their combined security and examination expertise. IELTS USA provides information and support to organizations that use IELTS to measure the English language proficiency of international applicants, and works with US stakeholders to increase the number of institutions and programs that use the test throughout the United States. IELTS is accepted by more than 3,400 US institutions. You can contact IELTS USA at ielts@ieltsusa.org.
