English Language Requirements
For most visas to migrate permanently to Australia applicants need to demonstrate their level of English language ability. The level of an applicant’s English language ability is assessed using the International English Language Testing System or IELTS as it is more commonly known.
The IELTS test measures an applicant’s ability to communicate across all four language skills:
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
The Listening, Reading and Writing components of the test take approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete. The speaking component takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
- Academic
- General Training
The Academic modules assess whether a candidate is ready to study or train at degree level.
The General Training modules are suitable for candidates who are going to undertake non academic training or for immigration purposes.
