EXAM:
IELTS
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the English language test recognized by more than 10,000 institutions in over 140 countries around the world. With a maximum of 2 hours 55 minutes, this test guarantees a reliable assessment of skills in a reasonable time, and includes a face-to-face interview to evaluate oral production skills, making it more realistic and fair for the candidate.
Both modalities can be submitted in the computer version and the results of the exam are guaranteed within 5 to 7 working days. The following are some of the benefits that can be obtained thanks to our alliance with the British Council, the United Kingdom’s international organization for cultural relations and educational opportunities. Now our university community (students and teachers) can take the IELTS exam on computer with a 10% discount, for this, it is very important to note that the applicant must give notice to the Language Institute by email, before registering for the exam, to access this discount.
