We are pleased to announce that from 15 February 2026, all IELTS for UKVI tests will be delivered on computer, providing a faster, more efficient and streamlined testing experience. IELTS for UKVI on computer offers the same test format, questions and scoring as IELTS on paper. IELTS for UKVI on computer also provides significant benefits to test takers at no additional cost:

  • Faster results: Typically receive your results in 1-2 days.
  • Faster booking: Book your test as late as one day before registration closes.
  • More test dates: More choice and flexibility for you.
  • One Skill Retake: Retake just one skill, not the whole test, if you need to improve your score.

Your Speaking test will take place on a different day to the other sections of the test, in a 7-day window before or after the main test day. You will receive an email confirming your Speaking test date 48 hours in advance.
