The IELTS test is an internationally recognized language certificate that is primarily required by educational institutions, employers and authorities. In contrast to a general English language test, which often only provides a rough assessment of the language level, the IELTS test specifically tests the four main skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The assessment is based on a standardized scoring system (band score from 0 to 9), which makes it ideal for official purposes. A simple English language test, on the other hand, is mostly used for personal assessment or course placement. The IELTS is accepted worldwide, especially for study visits, visa applications and professional qualifications. Depending on your goal, it is therefore important to choose the right test.

An English level test provides a reliable assessment of current language skills based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Most providers use this classification to place learners in the appropriate course - from A1 to C2, for example. An English level test usually includes tasks on grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension and reading comprehension. It does not serve as an official certificate, but is very helpful for individual learning planning. Some tests are available online, others are carried out on site. If you want to learn English systematically, you should start with a precise placement test. Discover test options and suitable English courses here.
