IELTS is available in two modules – Academic and General Training.
(The following definitions are to be used as a general concept only.)


Academic – Institutions of Higher and Further Education
The Academic module is, broadly speaking, for those who want to study or train in an English-speaking university or Institutions of Higher and Further Education. Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses is based on the results of the Academic test.


General Training – for school, work or migration
The General Training module focuses on basic survival skills in broad social and workplace contexts. It is typically for those who are going to English-speaking countries to do secondary education, work experience or training programs. People migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must sit the General Training test.
