Anglo-Continental is an Independent Test Centre for IELTS Testing in collaboration with British Council, Cambridge and IDP. We provide the opportunity to take your IELTS paper based Academic or General Test in secure, professional surroundings. IELTS paper based tests are not equivalent to IELTS SELT.
Tests are held on Saturdays.
The International Test
IELTS is internationally focused in its content. For example, texts and tasks are sourced from publications from all over the English-speaking world; a range of native-speaker accents (North American, Australian, New Zealand, British etc.) are used in the Listening test; and all standard varieties of English are accepted in test takers’ written and spoken responses.
The Test that’s Tried and Trusted
IELTS has been developed by some of the world’s leading experts in language assessment, and is supported by an extensive programme of research, validation and test development.
The level of the Test
IELTS is designed to assess English language skills across a wide range of levels. There is no such thing as a pass or fail in IELTS. Results are reported as band scores on a scale from 1 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest).
