You can take an IELTS test on a computer at our official test centres in Thailand, including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani and Nakorn Ratchasima.

Where you can do IELTS on computer in Thailand

For the IELTS on computer test, you will answer the Listening, Reading and Writing sections on a computer at one of our official test centres. The IELTS Speaking test will still be face-to-face with a trained IELTS Examiner, as this is the most effective way to assess your speaking skills.

With computer-delivered IELTS, you will now have more test dates to choose from - and your results will be available in 1-2 days.

IELTS on computer tests are available in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani and Nakorn Ratchasima under British Council Thailand at one of our official test centres.

* Results for IELTS on computer are usually available in 1 to 2 days after you finish all components of your test. Please note that if the result release day falls on Sunday or a public holiday, the test report form (TRF) will be distributed on the next working day.
