What is IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)?
If you are looking to work or study in the UK, you may need to apply for a UK visa and demonstrate that you meet the required level of English by taking a secure language assessment (known as the Secure English Language Test or SELT) approved by the Home Office, such as the IELTS test for UKVI (Academic and General Training) or the IELTS Life Skills.
What are the differences between the IELTS test format and the IELTS UKVI?
The IELTS International English Language Test and the IELTS UKVI test have the same format, content, scoring and level of difficulty. However, the transcripts containing your results will be slightly different in order to prove that you have taken the test at an official IELTS UKVI test centre approved by the UK Home Office.
Which test format should I choose?
If you are a student, check with your university or college which type of international English language test you need before you register.
