The British Council cannot accept payments made from banks (or other financial institutions) sanctioned by the UK or any other relevant jurisdiction. Where the British Council discovers evidence of payment from a sanctioned bank and/or sanctioned financial institution we will freeze all funds related to that payment and will be unable to deliver the service for which the payment was intended. Please therefore ensure that you do not make payments from an account in a sanctioned bank and/or sanctioned financial institution.

What does the fee include? Our IELTS test fee includes exclusive preparation materials, free practice tests and much more.

Test Takers who passed the IELTS for UKVI Life Skills test in the past two years can retake that IELTS for UKVI Life Skills level only after the results have expired.

Foreign citizens must use a valid passport for taking the IELTS or IELTS for UKVI test. Foreign national ID cards will not be accepted, with no exceptions.
