The British Council and IDP* will no longer offer IELTS on paper. You can still take your IELTS test, the world’s most trusted English Language test, on computer. IELTS on computers offers results typically within 1-2 days and is available throughout the week, offering you more flexibility.

* The IELTS test is jointly owned by British Council, IELTS Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 84 008 664 766), which is wholly owned by IDP Education Ltd (‘IDP: IELTS Australia’) and Cambridge Assessment English (part of the University of Cambridge), collectively referred to as the IELTS TEST PARTNERS or IELTS PARTNER.
