You can take IELTS in Switzerland through our official partner Swiss Exams.
IELTS is available in Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Winterthur and Zurich.
IELTS is the world’s most popular English language test. It evaluates all four English skills — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking and reflects how you’ll use English to study, work and live in an English-speaking environment.
