Speaking General Training | IELTS Latin America

Speaking

IELTS General Training measures English language proficiency in a practical, everyday context. You may take IELTS General Training if you want to study or train in secondary education, training at a college below degree level, or migrate to an English-speaking country.

IELTS Speaking Practice Tests

The speaking test is the same for both the Academic and General Training Exam. During the Speaking test, you will have a discussion with a certified IELTS Examiner. It is interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get. Be prepared by familiarizing yourself with the format of the test.

Format:

The test is 11 to 14 minutes long with three parts.

Sections	Description
Part 1	You answer questions about yourself, your family, your work and your interests.
Part 2	You speak about a topic. You will be given a task card which asks you to speak about a particular topic and includes points that you can cover in your talk. You will be given 1 minute to prepare your talk. You will then speak for 1-2 minutes.
Part 3	You have a longer discussion on the topic. The examiner will ask you further questions connected to the topic in Part 2.

Testimonials

Instructions before the IELTS written and speaking test were very clear and the people were nice and helpful. I found the written test pretty good. It was not too difficult, nor too simple. The results came quickly and I was accepted in the program and I am currently in the middle of my first year exams.

Nicholas Cletz, Company CEO

IELTS has been growing steadily for 20 years because it works. It’s good to know that IELTS has been the choice of millions of people over the years. IELTS stood out immediately because it tests all four skills – reading, writing, speaking and listening, giving a well-rounded assessment of my English
