What IELTS score do you need as a chiropractor in the UK?

The GCC will consider two tests taken within six months of submitting to it, for example an IELTS with 6 to 7 in one component and 7 or more in the others, followed by a second test reaching 7 in that component.

Instead of a test, the GCC may accept a recent chiropractic qualification taught and examined entirely in English in a country where English is the first and native language (with at least 75% of clinical interactions in English), or at least two years of recent practice in such a country, evidenced by employer references or by the regulator there.

If your chiropractic qualification is not recognised, you must pass the Test of Competence before the GCC can register you, and the English rules apply to Test of Competence candidates too. If six months pass after your test without registration, the GCC may look for further evidence that your English has not slipped. Regulators change these rules, sometimes at short notice. Confirm the current scores on the GCC page before you book a test.
