About IELTS The English Language Testing System

What is IELTS and what English language skills does it test?
Most prospective students know that they need to have a certain IELTS score, usually 6 - 6.5, to get into a university in countries like Canada, Britain, Australia or the USA, or they know that they have to sit the exam if they want to work or migrate to one of these countries. But very often they do not know what the exam itself involves or which English language skills are going to be tested.

I recently caught up with Michael Fay, a senior Australian education consultant with the ASEAN focus group and one-time director of INSEARCH at the University of Technology. Michael not only has extensive experience in providing IELTS courses but is also an IELTS Examiner himself - an ideal person to advise you on what the examination contains and how it is used by educational institutions and governments to determine your English language level.

ielts is also used by canada and the usa for migration purpose. the problem is in the listening section...the person speaking in the recording has an austalian or british accent which is not easy to understand by people who are not used to the accent. it would be better if they will create materials for the listening section that is US english accent..for people who are migrating to US or canada anyways

Why is it better than for instance CPE certificate?
