  • Resume Computer-delivered IELTS test at Beijing CD IELTS Centre and Shenzhen SEG Personnel Training Centre, and paper-based IELTS test at 14 more test centres in August. Below is the summary of the newly resumed test centres in August:

IELTS tests before the resumption date in the above-listed paper-based test centres will be cancelled and full test fees will be returned to test takers’ personal registration account. The remaining test centres are still unable to run IELTS and it has therefore been decided to CANCEL all August IELTS tests in those test centres and return full test fees to the personal registration accounts of those affected test takers.

Depending on the readiness of test centres, we will adjust IELTS test arrangement accordingly and provide additional test dates to test takers.  IELTS will resume in the remaining test centres in a phased approach. Please follow the updates of announcements on the registration website.
