For Non-LN Students

All are welcome to take an IELTS test with British Council.

With up to four IELTS test dates per month, it is easy to find a date that suits your schedule. Test venues are usually located on Hong Kong Island (e.g. Wanchai, Causeway Bay), in Kowloon (e.g. Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei) and in the New Territories (e.g Shatin). Our locations are chosen to be easily accessible by public transport including MTR.
