British Council Bahrain launches computer delivered testing

The British Council has launched computer delivered (CD) testing at its Bahrain office and its now open to public registrations. 
 
With more available test dates for candidates to choose from at this exclusive new venue with up to 4 tests per week, the first test is set to take place on December 6, 2021. 
 
“With the opening of this testing venue, the British Council emphasises its commitment to bring more convenience to our test takers in terms of easily accessible locations, an easy registration process, as well as a plethora of online and offline learner support resources available to every test taker,” said Michael King, Director of Examinations & Assessments for KSA, Kuwait & Bahrain.
 
The CD test offers more availability of test dates and faster results, within 5–7 calendar days after the test has been complete. The test content, timing, and structure remain the same in both options and, importantly, the Speaking test remains face-to-face with a certified IELTS Examiner.
 
CD IELTS is fast gaining popularity among working professionals who are planning to migrate to destinations such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Apart from the familiarity of using computers daily, the option to choose a slot for speaking interviews at the time of registration makes it easier for test takers to plan their test day, especially for working professionals with busy schedules.
 
Whether test takers take IELTS on paper or on computer, test takers can be confident that they are taking the same trusted English language test. IELTS is the only English language test that is accepted by all the key immigration authorities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, for visa applications and migration purpose.-- TradeArabia News Service
