General English IELTS – mostly for visa applications.
Academic English IELTS – mostly for entry to universities. (The Alba English IELTS course prepares students for the Academic English format).

Test takers receive a score (Band 1 “non-user” to Band 9 “expert user”). The Entry Requirements for UK universities vary depending on the institution and the course but they usually ask for an IELTS band of between 6.0 and 7.0.
