IDP IELTS has expanded its operations across Ghana, and now offers IELTS at its official IELTS test centres in Accra and Kumasi, which were launched this week.

With the opening of these centres, test takers can now conveniently take the IELTS test on computer or on paper, without the need to travel to other cities.

Equipped with state-of-the- art facilities and staffed with highly trained professionals, these new locations ensure a seamless testing experience.

Speaking during the press conference after the ribbon cutting ceremony, Mr Darrin Vardon, IELTS Operations Director MEA, EU & CIS, said he was pleased that IDP is able to expand its IELTS presence to help more test takers in Ghana.

"Test takers in Accra and Kumasi and surrounding cities will now have the option to choose whether they sit their test on paper or on computer, whichever suits them best. They will also have the support of our expert teams and our digital platform – including the IELTS by IDP App.

"With more than 2 million downloads worldwide, our app enables test takers to receive expert preparation guidance, register for the IELTS tests and, later, proudly showcase their results on social media platforms. Our trusted human connections will support Ghanaian students and test takers every step of the way in achieving their global study and career goals,” Mr. Vardon said.

The IELTS test is available in two formats: IELTS Academic for those who want to study at universities and other higher education institutions, and IELTS General Training for those who want to work or migrate to English-speaking countries.
IELTS is an internationally recognised language proficiency test that measures the ability of individuals to communicate effectively in English. It is widely accepted by universities, employers and immigration authorities in the UK, Australia, Canada, and other countries around the world.
