The International English Language Test System is a government-approved and internationally renowned English Language test.

The IELTS UKVI regulated test assesses each of the four key areas of your language abilities: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

FAQs
Who needs to take the IELTS UKIV test?
If you are applying for certain UK visas, Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or British Citizenship, you will be required to meet specific English Language requirements.
The IELTS test is a government approved test which shows the Home Office, Universities and UK Businesses that you have met these requirements.
Most adults applying for a visa on the UK Points-Based System are required to demonstrate competence in all four areas of the English Language, and this is the same for anyone applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK or for British Citizenship.
Where can I take the English test for citizenship?
The UK has more than 50 locations where you can take the IELTS test. You can also take the test in a variety of different countries around the world if you are not in the UK, in person or online.
