How to choose a centre
For a UK visa, book IELTS for UKVI or Life Skills at the British Council in Quito; Guayaquil has no UKVI sessions. ielts.org flags One Skill Retake at both British Council venues. In Guayaquil the British Council listing was a few dollars cheaper than IDP on the dates we read.
