Why Take IELTS with the British Council Italy?

IELTS – the International English Language Testing System – is the world’s most popular English language test. It assesses how well you can use English to study, work and live in an English-speaking environment and evaluates all of your English skills – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
The test is easy to access: you can take the test at any of our official testing points in Italy and across the world.
IELTS is developed by some of the world’s leading experts in language assessment. It is widely recognised and accepted by 12,500 organisations across more than 140 countries, including governments, academic institutions and employers. This includes over 3,000 organisations in the USA alone.
