IELTS Test Locations in Ottawa & Gatineau
Unlike SAT, SSAT and TOEFL, you can often apply for an IELTS test directly at the various locations that offer it online, so direct online contact is possible or you can register online at the British Council Canada IELTS official website or IDP official website. first and then submit your application to the direct institution later. Remember 5 points:
According to the official IELTS website there are 4 centers in the Ottawa area that that administer the IELTS test in Ottawa and you will find them listed below. With other exams, such as TOEFL and SAT, the testing center that you choose doesn’t really matter. However, many examinees and students have informed me that the center you choose does make a difference, but it is hard to know the role the invigilator or the assessor has on a person’s score and as I mentioned above examiners are all trained in the same way so any difference is more to do with the skill of the examiner rather than the center itself. However, it is not a bad idea to ask about the space of the rooms and even small issues such as noise and size and position of the clocks can make a difference to your performance.
For dates, times and fees see the IELTS Ottawa dates and fees page. Contact the official IELTS page for details on how to register. The following are the centers administering the test in Ottawa. Note that these centers are arranged from the cheapest to the most expensive and I have made a few comments about how to get there and any extra services the center offers.To find out times and dates quickly go to our page on Ottawa IELTS Times and Dates. The IELTS official page will explain to you how to obtain the application and how to apply.
- IELTS is jointly is jointly owned by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language but the British Council and IDP are competing organizations. For example, IDP will only show their testing centers so to get the full list, you need to go to both official sites.
- Testing Centers can have different prices and rules. They may also offer free preparation classes so do shop around. in Ottawa most centers charge the same but if you decide to take it in another city you may find a different price. For example a test in Kingston is $319
- IDP and British Council use the same testing material and examiners receive the same training so any difference in testing centers will be in terms of testing procedures and facilities, such as timing, quality of headphones, clocks, appropriate spacing. The quality of the examiners is not a center-by-center issue since examiners are given standardized trained. A lot of the facility requirements are regulated by the IDP and British Council but shop around anyways. You have the right to know the details about how you are tested before you register.
- A testing center is not always the same as the test venue location. For example, Canada College is at 1118 Sainte-Catherine West - 4th Flatineau . Welcome to the IELTS layer of confusion.
- Unlike many cities Ottawa test centers charge different prices for the paper based test and the computer based test.
