What IELTS score do midwives need for New Zealand?

All sittings must be completed within the three years before registration with the Council, so it can verify them with the test provider. Results must be a complete result from one of the two approved tests; the Council says no 'clubbing' of results will be accepted, so you cannot mix sections from IELTS and OET.

Whether IELTS One Skill Retake is accepted is not stated by the Council.

The requirement applies if English is not your first spoken language, meaning the language you spoke first, not the one you use most now. The guidelines say you may instead show sufficient education and assessment in English through another process, for example at least four years of secondary schooling and a midwifery qualification completed in English. Regulators change these rules, sometimes at short notice. Confirm the current scores on the Midwifery Council page before you book a test.
