IELTS is an examination required by many universities and colleges of higher education throughout the English-speaking world as proof of a suitable language level. It is not an examination that students pass or fail, but provides the candidate with a level in English from 1 to 9. For example to study at postgraduate level in the UK, students normally need to achieve a level of 6.5, depending on their chosen course of study.

Colchester English Study Centre is an IELTS Test Centre and tests are held here roughly every 2 weeks. Test bookings must be made 5 weeks in advance.
