Success starts with IELTS

You can register for IELTS quickly and easily through our Online Registration Service.

To register, simply follow the steps below:

1. READ THE INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES

Download and read the Information for Candidates which contains important information about the test format, the question types and the test results. Please note that IELTS is not recommended for candidates under the age of 16.

2. DECIDE WHICH VERSION OF THE TEST IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Please note that if you are taking IELTS for UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) purposes then additional options (and rules) are applicable. Visit what is IELTS for UKVI for relevant information.
If you are not taking IELTS for UKVI purposes, there are only two versions of the IELTS test:

• IELTS Academic
• IELTS General Training

Read our simple guide to help you decide which version of the test is right for you.

3. CHECK THE IELTS TEST DATES

There are a limited number of places for all our IELTS test sessions. To make sure you get a place, we recommend that you register two months before your chosen test date. Of course, places may be available after this date. You can use our Online Registration System to find up-to-date information about test dates and availability.
Please note: Your Listening, Reading and Writing test will be completed on the same day. Your Speaking test may be offered up to seven days before or after your main test day. You will receive notification in advance if your Speaking test is on a different day to your main test day. Ten days before the main test date, you can check in your Candidate Area to get full details of your speaking test schedule.

4. REGISTER ONLINE

Use our Online Registration System to book your place on the test.
Please ensure you are able to provide the documents in step 5 and are able to pay using one of the payment methods in step 6.

5. PREPARE AND SEND YOUR DOCUMENTS

• a bank deposit slip for the test fee (all payments are to be deposited in the bank - details of the account will be specified in the confirmation email as well as in step 6 below).

6. CHOOSE YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS
