English is a language in the workplace or the classroom.

most reputable universities and colleges will accept your IELTS
results as evidence of your English language proficiency.

in order to gain professional registration. By this time you will
already be familiar with IELTS and be one step closer to achieving
your long term goals.
The test for migration − IELTS is required by
governments in more countries than any other English language test
as a requirement for permanent residency.
