Some people know from childhood what they want to be when they grow up, others need some time to realise what their future profession is going to be. In both cases, there may come a time when it’s necessary to choose where to study.
When English isn’t the mother tongue, universities usually require a minimum knowledge of English and, to prove this, applicants are required to have an IELTS certificate.
Maltalingua’s contribution
There are are also other reasons to take the course leading to an IELTS certificate. Some study to be more socially comfortable, while others may want to improve their confidence or knowledge. If you’re able to speak English, you’ll never find yourself in an awkward situation while travelling.
Other advantages of learning English are in the world of business. A specialist who is not only knowledgeable in their field, but also proficient in English, becomes a particularly valuable asset.
It may also be that it’s as simple as wanting to watch favourite movies and TV series in their original language and being able to understand everything the author wants to convey and show.
One area in which IELTS is essential is when someone looking for university admission which requires proof of their English language level. For this we are there to help our students prepare thoroughly for this challenging exam.

Advantages of IELTS
The International English Language Testing System is more than just an exam. Acquiring an IELTS certificate has several benefits.
A high IELTS score gives you a significant competitive edge for a position in an internationally renowned company.
The certificate is also a tool for university admission, as most universities require it for non-native speakers, and not only in the EU. Universities in America also accept this certificate.
Obtaining long-term visas, residence permits and any immigration documents will also be closely linked to your language skills. Providing an IELTS certificate will not only be a requirement of the embassy, but also an excellent psychological bonus for yourself. You will enter the country with the confidence that you will be able to communicate and interact freely with native speakers.
