IELTS examinations
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's proven English test. Over 1.7 million tests are taken each year.
We are one of two IELTS testing centres in Sheffield. We run our exams once a month and the current IELTS exam fee is £135.
Exam details
The IELTS exam consists of four papers - listening, reading, writing and speaking.
There are two modules - one in academic and one in general training. The speaking and listening tests are the same in both modules, but the reading and writing tests are different.
