The IELTS General Training exam is jointly owned and organized by:

1. *British Council*: A UK-based organization specializing in international cultural and educational opportunities.

2. *IDP Education*: An Australian-based company providing international education services.

3. *Cambridge Assessment English*: A part of the University of Cambridge, responsible for English language assessments.

These three organizations work together to:

• Develop and administer the IELTS General Training test

• Set test dates and locations

• Score and report test results

• Provide test preparation materials and resources

The IELTS General Training exam is designed for individuals who want to:

• Migrate to an English-speaking country (e.g., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK)

• Pursue secondary education or vocational training

• Enhance their career opportunities

 

Note that IELTS General Training is different from IELTS Academic, which is designed for higher education and professional purposes.
