Hi Richard Thanks, you are right about the IELTS set up which is severe but it did not bother me that much. The challenge is that AASW will not accept any other form of testing except IELTS and their benchmark is 8 across the board which they also use to assess for immigration purposes from what I have seen on the forms.

Oh I see, thank you for that

Thanks for your reply but Association of Australian Social Workers seem to only accept IELTS

Hi all I’ve been a qualified social worker in England for just over 7 years working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and until recently in Early Intervention Psychosis from Adolescents to adults. I recently turned 43 years and to meet required 60 points I took the IELTS and got 8.5, 7, 7 and 8.5 meaning I would not qualify on points. I am contemplating retaking IELTS but this time with the aid of intensive classroom tutorials, however I just thought maybe I could get an informed and shared experience in this platform to then proceed. All advice is welcome. TIA
