IELTS test centres in Algiers
The ielts.org finder lists Jardy Hotel CB as the British Council's Algiers venue. On 30 October 2026 the British Council's Algeria listings showed, for Algiers, IELTS for UKVI General Training on 3 November and 1 December 2026 (DZD 43,400) and IELTS for UKVI Life Skills A1 and B1 on 15 November and 13 December (DZD 28,900).
No IELTS Academic or General Training date was listed in Algiers, and its booking system offered only Constantine and Setif for standard IELTS, with the first dates in March 2027. If you need standard IELTS sooner, check the booking system again before planning.
Dates and fees come from the British Council's test-date listings for Algeria and its booking system, read on 29 and 30 October 2026; venue names come from the official ielts.org centre finder. IDP does not run IELTS in Algeria, so every IELTS venue is a British Council one, and every test is on computer.

Register with the identity document you will bring on the day. The booking system says results for IELTS on computer arrive in 1 to 5 days, and the ielts.org finder marks this venue for One Skill Retake.
PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then Algiers and a slot (Pearson's booking guide).
