Up to now, there are more than 9,000 officially registered IELTS scores in the world, including various educational institutions (such as high schools and universities), vocational colleges, government departments and institutions, multinational companies and enterprises.

More than 9,000 institutions around the world recognize IELTS scores, and countries that recognize IELTS scores include: Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, or the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, South Africa and so on.

Let's take a concrete look at the information of these countries:

Britain and Ireland

As one of the earliest places to take IELTS test, the acceptance of IELTS test in Britain has always been high. In Britain, IELTS scores are an unimpeded passport for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

In a series of immigration policies introduced in recent one or two years, IELTS is one of the tests used by British authorities to evaluate applicants' English level. With the corresponding IELTS score, applicants can get extra points that meet the application conditions, thus realizing the "British dream" more quickly.

Australia and New Zealand

For Australia, basically all students studying in Australia must pass the IELTS test. In view of the fact that Australian student visas only recognize IELTS, all international students only need to take the IELTS test once to pass the dual certification of the school and visa application. As Wang Wei, Senior Information Officer of the Education Office of the Australian Embassy, said, "IELTS is highly recognized in Australia. All institutions recognize IELTS scores, and many institutions regard IELTS as the only proof of students' English ability to enter school. Because the IELTS test covers listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, it is a very good measure of students' overall English ability. "

In addition, IELTS is the only choice for applicants applying for skilled migration to Australia.

All schools in New Zealand recognize IELTS. Although there is no mandatory requirement to provide IELTS scores in the visa, applicants with IELTS scores generally do not need to spend time learning the language and can directly enter the formal courses. Similar to Australia, skilled immigrant applicants must meet certain requirements of IELTS (except those with compound exemption conditions).
