IELTS certification

IELTS has four distinct parts: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The first part is dedicated to your understanding of spoken English, for a total of 30 minutes. The second part takes the form of a questionnaire relating to different extracts from texts, to be completed over a period of 60 minutes. The third part will ask you to write a text in English, again for 60 minutes. The fourth and final part tests your oral expression in English for 10 to 15 minutes.

You will be given a mark for each part. The average of these four marks, between 1 and 9, will give your final sresult attesting to your level of English. Although difficult, IELTS is very useful for people wishing to study or work abroad. Getting an advanced level on the exam can open many doors for you.
