About IELTS

• The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is owned by Cambridge ESOL, the British Council and IDP Australia. IELTS is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who want to work or study in countries where English is the primary language of communication.
• IELTS is available in two modules, Academic or General Training. You must decide prior to applying which module is best for you as we cannot advise you on which module you should take. Please note that the General Training Module is not offered on all IELTS test dates.
• The Academic module is for people who want to study an undergraduate or postgraduate degree course or who wish to register with a professional body.
• The General Training module focuses on basic survival skills in a broader social and educational setting. General Training is suitable if you are joining a training programme or doing work experience in English speaking countries, but is not designed for degree level. This module is also suitable for those wishing to emigrate to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK.
• IELTS International House Bristol is a pen and paper test. Computer based IELTS tests are not currently available in the UK. Candidates are tested in four skill areas - listening, reading, writing and speaking English.
• If your test is on a Saturday, all parts of the test are taken on the same day, with doors opening at 9am on the day of the test. The listening, reading and writing tests usually finish around 1pm, with the speaking tests being held between 2.20-7.10pm. You will be given your time slot for the speaking test during registration on the day of the test.

Test dates

N.B The speaking portion of your test will take place either on the Friday before test day between 16:00pm and 20:00pm or on Saturday afternoon of test day after the listening, reading and writing portions of the test. If you are taking the speaking test on Friday, you will receive your speaking time slot by email one week prior to the test date. If you are taking the speaking test on Saturday, you will receive your speaking time slot when you arrive at registration on Saturday morning of test day.

Saturday test day:

Registration for all candidates is at 9:00am on Saturday of test day. The listening, reading and writing tests usually finish around 13:00pm, with the Saturday speaking tests being held between 13:45pm and 18:00pm.

You must arrange to be available for the entire day of your test as International House Bristol test centre staff are unable to guarantee an early speaking time, even if requested. Please do not book any flights, trains etc. that you may not be able to keep. If you have taken your speaking test on Friday, you will be free to go after the listening, reading and writing test.

Please note that applications must be submitted at least 2 weeks before each test
