The British Council has launched three new IELTS testing venues for computer- delivered and paper-based testing in Doha. They are at Arab International Academy, Orynx Universal College in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University and Inspire Management Training Centre, a statement said.
“With the opening of the new testing venues, the British Council emphasises its commitment to bring more convenience to our test takers in terms of easily accessible locations and a simple registration process. Those taking IELTS with the British Council also have access to a plethora of online learner support resources, available on our website, ahead of their exams.” said Waseem Kotoub, interim country director, British Council Qatar.
The IELTS on computer test offers more availability of test dates and faster results, within three to five calendar days after the test has been complete. The test content, timing, and structure remain the same in both options and, importantly, the Speaking test remains face-to-face with a certified IELTS Examiner.
For those planning to apply to University, IELTS is considered the preferred test of English for academic study, recognised and accepted by 11,000 institutions around the world and has a high in-country recognition for domestic studies too, the statement said.
IELTS on computer is also fast gaining popularity among working professionals who are planning to migrate to destinations such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Apart from the familiarity of using computers daily, the option to choose a slot for speaking interviews at the time of registration makes it easier for test takers to plan their test day, especially for working professionals with busy schedules.
"Whether taking IELTS on paper or on computer, candidates can be confident that they are taking the same trusted English language test. IELTS is the only English language test that is accepted by all the key immigration authorities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK, for visa applications and migration purpose," the statement added.
