Vickiw89 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi everyone, Could someone tell me which IELTS test I need to take, either the academic or technical? I'm from the UK, applying for trade migration. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazza227 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 My husband is applying for skilled visa and took the General one. Are you using an agent? If so they will be able to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Mazza227, No not currently using an agent, but will be when we start the visa process, wanted to get my skills assessed first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azh Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What's the trade? I only had to do general for chefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Azh, trade is hairdresser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Trades only ever need IELTS General. Keep in mind too that IELTS is no longer the only acceptable test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If you have a UK passport you do not need to take the test. Unless you are using it to bump up your points score. if so, as a hairdresser it is the general test. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for your replies! I have been looking at the other options, but the IELTS test centre is closest to where I live, so easiest option for me, but thank you anyway! I do have a UK passport, and not entirely sure if I will proceed with the test as I don't necessarily need the extra points, but looking into it at the moment, willing to do it if it helps broaden my options! Thanks so much for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azh Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm pretty sure the test in mandatory! I could be wrong tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmtag Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Vickiw89 IELTS general for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saff Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 test is only mandatory if you don't have a passport from (for example) the UK; or if you want to bump up the points. General Training suffices for the 15 points or whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
