You should speak to the institution that has requested an IELTS score from you and ask which test module they require, but as a guideline:

  • The IELTS Academic test is suitable for those wanting to study in an English-speaking environment or university (higher education). You can also take IELTS Academic for professional registration purposes. The test measures if you are ready to begin studying in English. It features vocabulary that is familiar within an academic setting.
  • The IELTS General Training test is suitable for those applying to study below degree level. This includes an English-speaking school or college. It can also be taken for work experience or other employment training. IELTS General Training is also required for migration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. The test features everyday English language skills that you will need in social and workplace environments.
We can only issue one test report form to each candidate. If you need to provide your test report form for an institution, (for example a university or immigration office), you can request an extra institution copy at following costs:
IELTS on paper:
electronic copy - 21,000 MNT
carbon copy - 32,000 MNT
IELTS on computer:
electronic copy - 22,000 MNT
carbon copy - 33,000 MNT
We will send this directly to the institution. Candidates who require additional copies to be sent internationally must pay for international postage.

On the day of the IELTS test you must present an original and current national identification card or passport. We cannot accept photocopies (even if they are certified copies from a Solicitor) or letters from the police. You will not be able to sit your exam without a valid passport.

On the day of the test, you must present the same identification document you used when you completed your application form.
