About IELTS
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It measures ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking – and opens doors for people who wish to study or work where English is the language of communication. Candidates may choose either the Academic Module or the General Training Module:

• The Academic Module is intended for those wishing to enrol in universities and other institutions of higher education.
• The General Training Module is for those planning to undertake non-academic training or gain work experience, or is taken for immigration purposes.

Levels
2 levels, from Intermediate to Advanced (with the focus on the Academic Module; the Listening and Speaking sub-tests are common to both modules)
* Intermediate level: entry level IELTS 4.5; students aim for IELTS 5.5
* Upper Intermediate/Advanced: entry level IELTS 5.5; students aim for IELTS 6.5+
