Academic or General Training

Academic Type — for Study Purposes

The Academic type assesses a test taker’s readiness to study or train in the medium of English at an undergraduate or postgraduate level by testing the full range of formal language skills required for academic purposes. Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programs and courses is based on the results of the Academic type. The Academic type is also suitable for professional registration.

General Training — for Work or Immigration Purposes

The General Training type emphasizes basic language survival skills in a broad social and educational context. General Training is suitable for test takers who are going to English speaking countries to complete their secondary education, undertake work experience or training programs, or to qualify for immigration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
