Dubai, UAE: The British Council in partnership with SABIS® Network schools in the U.A.E., Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar will offer IELTS testing for its students. Through this partnership, students enrolled in SABIS® schools will benefit from additional learner support on the English proficiency test, the ability to sit for the test in a familiar location, and easy access to the registration process. For students planning to apply to university, IELTS is considered the preferred test of English for academic study and is recognized and accepted by 11,000 institutions around the world and has a high in-country recognition for domestic studies too.

“We are delighted to partner with SABIS® to create access to the world’s leading English proficiency test and related learner support for the students who register to take the exam. The IELTS test is one of the prerequisites for international opportunities in higher education and career progression. With the opening of the new test venues, students at the schools will have more convenience in terms of easy accessibility and a simplified registration process. The partnership is an important step that reflects the British Council's commitment to continue supporting educational institutions in the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar,” said Deep Adhikari,
