IELTS or International English Language Testing System is a standard test conducted by the British Council, the regulatory body of British foreign education, in order to test the English Language skills of people to give them employment and educational opportunities in Britain and other English speaking European countries. Two versions of the examinations are available, the academic version for students seeking admission to European Universities, along with Nurses and doctors seeking to practice there, while the General version is applicable to the people for work related, and immigration purposes in Europe. The exam is attempted by most of the people seeking Higher Education and Employment, and hence the competition actually is not only from people of India but also from other countries as well. A good score would always fetch you a good university, and the chances of immigration and a job is high along with good scholarships, so from that point of view, and in a place like India, where English language skills are not so well developed, professional coaching for IELTS is always helpful.
