Certificates

Willing to take the IELTS examination? So check the dates on the British Council page (if you live in Brazil) or the IELTS international/official page is you live anywhere else!
But if you don't even know what the IELS is, I'll give you a hand: The IELTS is an internationally recognised certificate, which is good for:

- proving one's English skills

- allowing students to join certain universities in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, etc.

- allowing students to obtain a visa by Australian, NZ and Canadian governments.

Other important certificates for learners of English around the globe are the Cambridge, the TOEIC (Business English) and the TOEFL, for which you can practise here.

In the ETS page you can find a whole lot more of information concerning these tests, amongst others.
