What is the difference between IELTS and IELTS for UKVI? IELTS and IELTS for UKVI are the exact same test in terms of format, content, scoring and level of difficulty. The only difference is an IELTS for UKVI test is approved by the UK Home Office for work, study and migration purposes.
UK Visas & Immigration, commonly referred to as UKVI, is the division of the Home Office responsible for the UK’s visa system.
The IELTS test you take, together with the score you need, will depend on the Home Office requirements and/or the requirements of the institution where you plan to study or work. In circumstances where you are taking the IELTS test to support a Home Office application, you will need to take either the ‘IELTS for UKVI’ test or the ‘IELTS Life Skills’ test.
Under IELTS for UKVI there are two different training modules: Academic or General Training, either of which is accepted as proof of English proficiency for those wishing to live, work and study in the UK.
