Choosing a centre
If you live in the west or east, check Oran or Constantine first, but expect to travel to Algiers: the capital had several sessions a week until late December 2026, while the other two cities had almost nothing bookable. The British Council's Algiers office handles enquiries.
IELTS for UKVI had only four sessions in Algiers between late October and December 2026, so book it as soon as you know you need it (British Council). Payment must reach the British Council within 72 hours of booking; see IELTS exam fee in Algeria.
