Client Testimonials View
Charles Castañeda, UK (Immigrant)
‘The IELTS helped me bridge the gap between my professional skill set and better opportunities in the UK. With the help of the British Council, I surpassed the minimum requirements for both my work visa and professional registration.’
Aizalyn Andres, Canada (Immigrant)
‘In many ways, I think my decision to take IELTS with the British Council is the reason why I’m here in Canada, living my dream. I was able to maximise my IELTS preparation, not only for the test, but also for the new life I have embarked on.’
Athena Mahree Maala, UK (Registered Nurse)
‘There was a time when I was sure I had given up on my career as a nurse. Going through the IELTS test not only made me more confident with my English skills but also allowed me to achieve my dream of working in the UK.’
Jorica Pamintuan, UK (Graduate of Oxford University)
‘Taking IELTS has allowed me to pursue my dream to study in the UK through the IELTS Prize. I am grateful to have been chosen for the prize and truly honoured for the faith that the British Council has in my abilities and aspirations.’
Mary Ann Nacario, Australia (Engineer)
‘Without IELTS, I wouldn't be able to get my credentials assessed by Engineers Australia (EA). The tips I got from the writing workshops I attended came in handy when I was working on my career episodes for EA. After 6 months of working on the requirements, my family and I were granted permanent residency and it would not have been possible without IELTS.’
Lemelen Palad, Ireland (Immigrant)
‘It has always been my dream to work in the ‘Silicon Valley of Europe’. Now that I am here in Dublin, Ireland, I cannot help but smile looking back at how intense I prepared for the IELTS exam. All the hard work paid off because I have acclimated well since I arrived and loving every moment of my time here.’
Jennie Equiz, Canada (Student)
‘IELTS is the reason I was able to continue my application to study college in Canada. Here in my new home, I found new friends in campus and have made new and wonderful experiences. I am looking forward to a rewarding career after I graduate.’
Yla Paras, UK (Graduate of London School of Economics)
‘IELTS was one of the things that paved the way for my pursuit of my long time aspiration of obtaining a graduate degree that combines my interests in law, institutional economics and policy.’
