IELTS test cities in Jamaica
Venues come from the British Council's Jamaica page and the ielts.org test centre finder for Jamaica, which lists the two Overseas Examinations Commission venues with One Skill Retake. IDP does not run IELTS in Jamaica. We leave out addresses because venues move.

|---|---|---|
| Kingston | Overseas Examinations Commission; University of the West Indies (Mona) | Academic, General Training; UKVI and Life Skills priced |
| Montego Bay | Overseas Examinations Commission | Academic, General Training |
How to choose a centre
Both cities had sessions on the same dates at the same price. For a UK visa, IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills are priced for Kingston on the British Council's UKVI page; no UKVI sessions were in the listing we read, so check dates before you plan. IELTS Online is also available to people in Jamaica, for university applications only.
