What should I keep in mind before booking my IELTS test?

1. Government regulations

Before booking your test, keep in mind the provisions adopted by the national and local government.

2. Schedules and timings of the IELTS English test

  • The IELTS Listening, Reading and Writing sections are completed on the same day without interruptions.
  • During the pandemic, we are testing in the morning and in the afternoon. All sessions allow for social distancing. Morning sessions are usually between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and the afternoon sessions, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
  •  The IELTS Speaking test can be taken on the same day as the other sections or within a week before or after the date you have selected for your written IELTS English test. You will receive an email confirming the date of your IELTS Speaking test as well as the other sections. If you registered for an IELTS Life Skills test, you will receive a confirmation email specifying the time of your interview 48 hours in advance. You may also check your test details on the Test Taker Portal.

Choose your IELTS Speaking test slot

You can choose your IELTS Speaking test slot. If we need to change your test slot due to the pandemic, we will notify you by email or phone.

3. Underage test-takers

  • Candidates under the age of 18 must present the following documents, signed by a parent or guardian, in order to book the IELTS test:

- Consent form to take the exam

- Consent form to leave the premises unaccompanied

*The IELTS English test is not recommended for anyone under 16 years of age.

What do I need in order to book my IELTS test?

1.  Identification document

When registering, you will need to upload a scanned copy of your ID. It must be valid at the time of booking and on the day of your IELTS test. Remember that on the test day you must present the same document that you used for registration; otherwise, you will not be able to take your exam or request a refund.

The only valid documents to book an IELTS test are:

Peruvian citizens*
  • Original, machine-readable or biometric passport
  • National Identity Card (DNI)

*Under no circumstances will passwords, immigration cards or documents in process be accepted.
Foreign citizens
  • Original, machine-readable or biometric passport

In order for the system to approve your registration, upload your identity document before the deadline; otherwise, your test will be carried over to the next available session and there will be no refund.

How to scan your document?

Scan both sides in colour. If you registered with your passport, you must upload it as an open book, making sure that the image shows the two pages: the one that contains your data and the next one.

If you have problems uploading your identity document to our system according to the specifications described above, send it directly to ieltslat@britishcouncil.org.

2. Payment method

You can pay for your IELTS test through our online registration system by following the steps detailed on the confirmation email. Check with the IELTS test centre where you have registered for alternative payment methods.

You have up to 24 hours to make the payment; otherwise, your application will be cancelled.

Remember that if you register three days before or on the day of registration closing, these periods of time do not apply and we require that you send us the payment immediately.

If you pay with credit card, note that the fee will be charged in US Dollars at the exchange rate of the day of the operation, so your bank will adjust the value according to exchange rates, interbank fees, among others, which are completely unrelated to the value of the test. You may also pay by electronic transfer or bank deposit. This information will be given to you by the system at the time of booking. Remember that if you choose to pay by these means, you must send proof of payment to  ieltslat@britishcouncil.org, and this will be subject to confirmation within a period of no more than 24 hours.

What happens after I have booked my IELTS test?

After booking your IELTS test and your payment has been approved you will receive:

  • An automated email with access to our exclusive Road to IELTS (last minute version) online preparation course, which includes 100 interactive activities, nine video tutorials and two IELTS Academic practice tests for each of the four skills.
  • An email with the confirmation of the start time of the two parts of the exam (written and oral), and the address of the place where you will have to take them.
  • You will also receive your IELTS reference number to access the candidate portal. Make sure you include your email address correctly when you book your IELTS test.

*Make sure to check your spam inbox.

Download and read the information for IELTS test-takers

We recommend that you download and read our information document for candidates which will help you in your preparation process and will allow you to familiarise yourself with the test format so that you know what to expect on your IELTS test day. 

*Disclaimer: All our tests are delivered 100% face-to-face. It is important that you bear in mind that payments made by credit card are debited in US Dollars at the exchange rate of the day of the operation, so your bank will adjust the value according to exchange rates, interbank fees, among others, which are completely unrelated to the value of the test.

Our IELTS test fee includes access to the exclusive Road to IELTS (Last minute version) online preparation course, as well as IELTS preparation materials including mock tests, mobile apps, expert advice, blog posts and much more.

Find out which exam is best suited for you and choose the type of English certification you need: IELTS Academic, IELTS General Training or IELTS for UKVI, which you can take at our official IELTS test centres in Peru. 

You can take your IELTS test in Peru at one of our official British Council IELTS test centres in Lima with optimal biosecurity protocols, location and comfort conditions with a wide variety of dates per month.

Please note that the registration link on this page will give you the option to register in one of our three official British Council IELTS test centres in Lima. It´s important that you are very clear on which centre you register with as they all function independently from one another which means we are not able to manage or change registrations from the three centres as a whole.

Test takers who register with Asociación Cultural Peruano Británica and Centro de Idiomas de la Universidad del Pacífico do not have access to our Road to IELTS Last Minute version; this is an exclusive benefit for candidates who register with the direct British Council test centre.

We are working hand in hand with the government to comply with all security protocols and current regulations. Therefore, we are gradually opening our sessions. You can check the available test dates and centres in the registration link and prepare yourself with our free IELTS online preparation material.

Special arrangements for IELTS test-takers

We are committed to ensuring that all candidates are treated fairly and objectively, and that they are provided with the optimal conditions to take their English tests. If you have hearing, visual, speech or learning difficulties and have any special requirements for the day of your IELTS test, we can help you.
