Why recognise IELTS? | British Council Poland

IELTS is the international test for international mobility. More than 12,500 organisations worldwide already accept IELTS scores for education, employment and immigration, including government, academic and employment institutions. If you need to assess the language skills of your students, staff or potential candidates, IELTS is the only test you need.

The IELTS test gives you a reliable way to:

Recruit staff and students with the right level of attainment in English language.
Assess the English language level of your students when they are applying for international mobility programmes.
Equip your students with the world’s most popular international English language test at the point of graduation, so that they can stand out in today’s competitive jobs market.

Becoming an organisation which recognises IELTS

You can help raise the profile of your institution to prospective candidates by applying to become an IELTS-recognising organisation. Your organisation will then be given a free listing on Who accepts IELTS? and all IELTS websites giving your organisation greater exposure to millions of potential test takers worldwide.

Contact our team in Poland who will be more than happy to help you and answer questions you have about becoming an IELTS-recognising organisation.

Alternatively, you can apply online. It only takes a few minutes to provide the details we need from you and we will let you know if your application has been successful within 14 days.

Help your applicants by keeping them informed

We recommend that you publish the IELTS scores that you require on your website. This information will help prospective candidates in their decision about whether to apply to you. It will also help make your application process more efficient and reduce the number of enquiries you have to handle.

Our team in Poland can provide you with official IELTS logos to include on your website. For more information, please contact our IELTS team.
