About Part Time IELTS

IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It measures ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking – for people who intend to study or work where English is the language of communication. It is the preferred test of English for students intending to study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom and covers the four language skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking.

IELTS Academic Module is recognised widely as a language requirement for entry to all courses in further and higher education and assesses whether a candidate is ready to study or train in the medium of English at an undergraduate or postgraduate level.

IELTS General Training Module is suitable for candidates who are going to English-speaking countries to complete their secondary education, undertake training programs or for immigration purposes.

The test result is published in the form of a report, which places candidates on a scale of one to nine according to language ability. There is a score for each of the four modules and also an overall score. IELTS can be taken at test centres in over 100 countries. Test dates are fixed, and tests are normally available in Singapore every second weekend. The listening, reading and writing modules are tested together on one day with the speaking module conducted on a separate day. Further information and a list of local centres is available on the IELTS website – www.ielts.org
