Official IELTS Testing CentreThe International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication. |  |
|
IELTS is accepted by educational institutions in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and increasingly in Canada, the USA and other countries, as evidence of the language skills necessary for entry to university or college courses. Many other organisations around the world use IELTS scores for a range of purposes – for example immigration, recruitment and entry to training courses. IELTS covers all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking – at nine levels from Non User to Expert User. . | |

Offical TOEIC Testing CentreThe Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is an English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English.

The scores indicate how well people can communicate in English with others in business, commerce and industry. |
