IELTS General Training Fee and Registration
What IELTS General Training costs and how to book your test.
Approximate Fee
IELTS General Training and Academic cost the same in most countries - the fee is set locally by British Council or IDP, not by which module you take. Always check the exact current price when you book.
How to Register for IELTS General Training
Visit the official IELTS website
Go to the British Council or IDP IELTS website in your country, wherever General Training is offered.
Select General Training
IELTS Academic and General Training are booked through the same portal - double-check you've selected General Training, not Academic.
Choose your test date and location
Pick a test centre near you and an available date.
Pay the fee to confirm your booking
Complete payment online - your slot is only confirmed once payment goes through.
Bring your ID on test day
Bring the exact passport or ID you registered with - name and photo must match your booking.
Money Matters: Reschedules, Cancellations, and Smart Prep
Reschedule ahead of time
Most centres allow rescheduling or cancellation up to a set number of weeks before your test date, usually with a partial refund.
Late cancellation forfeits most of the fee
Cancelling close to test day typically forfeits most or all of the fee, regardless of centre.
Same cost as Academic
IELTS General Training costs the same as Academic in most countries - the fee difference isn't in which module you take.
