What is IELTS?
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the official English proficiency test that helps one work, study or migrate in a country with English as their native language. Test takers assess one’s ability to read, write, speak and listen in English and are graded on a scale of 1-9.
With English as the third most spoken language in the world, candidates must be able to demonstrate a high level of English ability to bag better study and job opportunities while integrating into the new community.

Understanding CD IELTS
Computer-Delivered IELTS (CD IELTS) represents a modern approach to the renowned International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test. In this digital era, CD IELTS streamlines the testing process, offering candidates a convenient and efficient way to showcase their English language proficiency to international institutions and government organisations. Unlike the traditional paper-based test, CD IELTS is entirely computer-based, encompassing all four essential skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
The transition to a digital format enhances accessibility and flexibility for test-takers, allowing them to choose from a variety of test slots, receive faster results and navigate the test with ease through a user-friendly interface. Despite the digital transformation, the core assessment criteria and evaluation standards remain unchanged, ensuring that CD IELTS scores are just as reliable and valid as those of the traditional format.
Why CD IELTS?
CD IELTS caters to the diverse needs of individuals aiming to study, work or immigrate to English-speaking countries. The questions for the Listening, Reading and Writing sections are shown on the screen and you enter your answers on the computer. It maintains the hallmark of face-to-face interaction in the Speaking test, where candidates can converse with a certified examiner, assuring a rigorous and consistent evaluation process. Furthermore, CD IELTS continues to uphold the IELTS legacy of excellence while embracing the convenience of technology. Whether you are a student aspiring to study abroad, a professional seeking career opportunities or an immigrant navigating language requirements, CD IELTS is your pathway to success in the English-speaking world.
Benefits of CD IELTS

With CD IELTS, you no longer need to wait for paper-based results. Your scores are typically available within 3 to 5 days after completing the test, allowing you to meet tight deadlines for university applications, professional certifications or visa requirements.
