Hello,
Our offices remain closed to the public. We are sorry for the disruption this causes but the health and safety of our staff and customers are our top priority. While we would like to resume our operations, we will only do this once we are certain we have the equipment and systems in place to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 to an absolute minimum.
If you are a test-taker, a student or parents please see below for further details and our free online education offers and activities.
Examination services
IELTS
Candidates who booked tests with us before the Covid-19 outbreak are our priority and are being contacted to rebook these tests.
We have opened up tests to the general public and these are available online.
We understand this has been a frustrating period for all those wishing to take IELTS exams and we thank you for your patience and support.
Due to the Covid-19 safety precautions we will be operating smaller testing sessions and we anticipate that demand will be high as we look to process both those who have been waiting to rebook tests and those who wish to book new tests.
Professional and university exams
All Professional and University exams have resumed, kindly look out for formal communication from your University or Professional body.
