You have to fulfil different requirements to take IELTS for work, based on the nation, professional associations, organisations and the job sector of your preference. Many professional associations need IELTS scores to register an individual in a specific domain, be it engineering, law, medicine or education.

If you want to take IELTS for work, you have two IELTS options, IELTS General Training and Academic tests. You can ask about the necessary test score requirements with the organisation directly.

Both the tests are recognised by a few bodies. However, only the IELTS Academic test is accepted by others. The IELTS General Training test is recognised by many professional groups and vocational training institutes, as it aligns with workplace objectives and social situations.
