Take IELTS at a British Council partner test centre
With IELTS on computer, you take the same IELTS test, but you type your answers, in a computer lab at an IELTS test centre. The Speaking section of the test is still face-to-face in a private room with an IELTS Examiner.
IELTS on computer is accepted for Canadian immigration and by over 750 organisations across the country.
IELTS on computer is available up to three times a day, seven days a week, giving you more choice on when you take the test.
Check availability with your local test centre, as dates and times vary across the country.
Your IELTS on computer results will be available to preview online in just three to five days. We will also send you your Test Report Form by post.
You will need to attend a local IELTS centre in order to take your test. No technical computer skills or knowledge is required, and you can still plan out your answers on paper. Staff will be available to support you, should you have any technical questions.
British Council provides free materials to help you prepare for your test. For more information visit our IELTS on computer preparation webpage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is computer delivered IELTS?
Computer-delivered IELTS is your IELTS English language proficiency test, taken on a computer at your local test centre.
How does the IELTS on computer test work?
Computer-delivered IELTS works exactly the same as IELTS on paper. Instead of writing your answers on paper (like a traditional exam), your answers are simply submitted on computer instead. Computer-based IELTS still takes place inside an IELTS test centre under the usual exam conditions.
How long does it take for computer based IELTS test results to come back?
You are able to view your IELTS on computer results online in just three to five days following your test. A paper version of your results (Test Report Form) will be sent to you by post.
Is IELTS computer based and IELTS on computer the same thing?
Yes! Computer based IELTS and IELTS on computer are exactly the same thing. They both refer to the IELTS test being taken on a computer inside a test centre.
