Opting to try IELTS for Work is a great choice if you choose to start your career or wish to work abroad. The main reason IELTS stands out from the other English Language proficiency exams is that the exam is trusted by 11,000 organisations in the countries like the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. These countries sternly believe that an IELTS Test taker who has scored a high band is more competent in the English Langauge and can effortlessly sustain in their working environment.Â
Students aspiring to work in the above-mentioned countries, must attend the IELTS - General Training exam and score a band expected by the professional bodies of their preferred country.Â
Students who have already attended the IELTS Academic exam for their university admission are required to attend the IELTS - General Training exam for their career establishment. Because, the professional bodies of the above-mentioned countries require evidence of students' English skills to determine whether they can pursue their profession confidently in their English-speaking environment.Â
But, also, it depends on the professional bodies of the countries to decide whether a student should either give IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training to start working in their company. IELTS Academic is included for career establishment because the format tests the students’ competence and ability to sustain in a professional environment, where English is the primary language.
