IMPORTANT
- Before registering for the exam, check with the institution requesting it for its validity. The Centro Colombo Americano and the British Council are not responsible if you take an invalid exam.
- The speaking test can be taken on the same day as the other sections or for a week before or after the date selected for the written test.
- With the IELTS in Computer, the sections of listening comprehension, reading comprehension and written expression will be answered from a computer. The speaking test will remain in person with a qualified IELTS examiner, as we believe it is the most effective way to assess this skill.
- IELTS results are valid for two years from the date of administration of the test. Once the validity of the test has expired, no certificates will be issued.
- If you have any special requirements, you must take the IELTS test on paper.
