The AUS Testing Center is an official International Test Centre for IELTS in the UAE and works in collaboration with the British Council.
Both Paper Based and Computer Delivered IELTS are offered at the AUS Testing Center.
Paper Based IELTS has four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes. The Listening, Reading and Writing tests are done in one sitting while the Speaking test may be on the same day or up to seven days before or after the other tests. You will be advised of the time for your speaking interview when you apply.
If you choose the Computer Delivered IELTS, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing sections on a computer. The Speaking test will remain face to face with a trained IELTS Examiner.
AUS accepts score reports of all the British Council approved testing venues.
To register and pay for either test, visit the IELTS website. Please select American University of Sharjah as your test center during the registration process if you wish to take your IELTS at AUS. For any inquiries related to the test registration, please contact the British Council directly here.
