Who it's for
For university study and professional registration
University study
Undergraduate and postgraduate admission. Universities set the band you need, often for each skill.
Professional registration
Registration boards for professions such as nursing and teaching ask for IELTS Academic.
Australian visas
Australia accepts both IELTS Academic and General Training for visas, so an Academic result can count there too.
The test format
Academic and General Training, side by side
Listening and Speaking are the same in both. Reading and Writing Task 1 are different, and Reading is converted to a band differently.
