Is Accreditation Needed for the IELTS Test?

Are you thinking of taking the IELTS examination?

The IELTS or the International English Language Testing System examination is an English fluency examination. This examination is taken by individuals who want to work, study, and immigrate overseas. The IELTS certificate is accepted in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and even the United States of America.  The test has gained its popularity among companies and academic institutions because of its reliability and accuracy in measuring the English fluency of its takers.

First and foremost, candidates need to know that there are two accredited agencies that deliver the IELTS examination – the IDP and the British Council. Some might be asking why there are two agencies. Accordingly, the IELTS was founded by the University of Cambridge, IDP and the British Council. Some countries are under the coverage of British Council while some of the IDP. Luckily in the Philippines, both agencies are present. Candidates should know that these are the only agencies accredited to give the IELTS examination.

Upon the candidate’s registration for the examination, they should choose to register for the IDP or British Council. Some are wondering if there is any difference regarding the content of the exam under these organizations. The truth is – the content is the same; the only difference they have is the cost of the exam. For candidates, it is best to inquire to the company or school you are applying for whether they accept the IDP, British Council or both.

Registering for the test is easy as it can be done online. Moreover, IELTS review centers can also help in registering for the exam. However, the candidates have to be aware that these centers should be accredited by the IDP or the British Council. One review center in the Philippines that is accredited by the British Council and IDP is JRooz Review Center. It has branches in Baguio, Manila, Cebu, and Davao City.  IELTS review centers like JRooz are authorized to help candidates for the examination. They will ensure that the applicants have the right requirements for the application. Moreover, personnel in these review centers guide candidates in filling up the application form to avoid mistakes.

The IELTS examination is an important requirement for every candidate to complete. Paying for the exam and review courses is costly; hence, candidates do their best in the exam. Be sure to pick only the authorized and accredited review centers for the IELTS examination.
