Studying towards a recognised qualification in English is an excellent way to improve your language skills.
It can lead to better employment prospects, a place at a UK university or be used to secure your visa. Companies in Europe often look for the Cambridge First Certificate or Advanced qualification, whereas UK universities and colleges prefer the IELTS exam. If you are applying for a visa, you have a number of different options available to you. Always remember to leave plenty of time to prepare for the exam and book your test early. Places often fill very quickly for the most popular exams.
If you are considering taking an English exam in the UK, we have nearby centres for IELTS at the University of Glasgow or Basil Paterson Edinburgh.
You first need to fill out an Ielts application form.
