IELTS test cities in Argentina by provider
City lists come from the British Council's test centres page and session listings, IDP's test centre finder and the ielts.org test centre finder for Argentina, which listed eight venues. ielts.org also lists an IDP venue at a British school in Córdoba, but IDP's Córdoba page showed no dates. We leave out addresses because venues move.
| City | IDP | British Council |
|---|---|---|
| Buenos Aires | Yes, including UKVI and Life Skills | Yes, 2 venues |
| Córdoba | Venue listed, no dates | Yes |
| Rosario | City page, no dates | Yes |
| Tucumán | Not listed | Yes |
| Mendoza, Neuquén, Salta, Santa Fe, Trelew | City pages, no dates | Not listed |
How to choose a centre
For a UK visa you need IELTS for UKVI or Life Skills, which only IDP's Buenos Aires venue offers; the British Council says it does not run UKVI tests in Argentina. For universities and for Australia, New Zealand or Canada, standard IELTS Academic or General Training at any centre works.
ielts.org flags One Skill Retake at all four British Council venues, which you must sit within 60 days of the original test (British Council). The British Council's fee is the same USD 282 in every city, so pick the city you can reach.
