Candidates with hearing difficulties

If candidates suffer from partial hearing loss and can hear with the help of headphones or special amplification equipment they may ask for permission to use this type of equipment when taking listening modules.

A lip-reading version of the Listening Module is also available in which the supervisor reads the listening texts to the candidate.

If candidates have severe hearing difficulties and the special arrangements described above are not sufficient, for example if they are unable to lip-read, they can apply for exemption from the Speaking and/or Listening Modules.

In this case, their Test Report Form will have the following statement printed on it:

'Due to extreme speaking and/or hearing difficulties this candidate was exempt from taking the Speaking and/or Listening Modules and the overall band score reflects this.'

NB: Candidates must apply for exemption before taking the IELTS test.

All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking Modules. There is an option of either Academic or General Training Reading and Writing Modules. The academic module is suitable for candidates planning to study in an institution of Higher Learning. General Training is suitable for candidates planning to undertake non academic training or work experience, or for immigration purposes.

IELTS is accepted by most Australian, British, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions. An increasing number of United States' academic institutions accept IELTS for admissions purposes.

IELTS is accepted by many professional organizations including the New Zealand Immigration Service, the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, the Australian Medical Council, the UK General Medical Council and the UK Ministry of Defence.
