Where to take IELTS for UKVI in Jordan
The British Council offers IELTS for UKVI in Amman only (UKVI page), at JOD 235. IDP's live session lists showed UKVI Academic and General Training sessions at JOD 217 at Oval International Academy in Amman and its Irbid venue, but only a few dates each month.
IDP's UniHouse venue in Amman showed no bookable sessions online on 13 October, so contact it directly or choose another venue. None of IDP's three Jordan venues was marked as offering One Skill Retake.

How to choose a centre in Jordan
Price is close: JOD 215 at IDP and JOD 220 at the British Council for IELTS on computer, the same at every venue of each provider. Choose by dates and travel. IDP showed 76 upcoming sessions in Amman and 90 in Irbid. If you live in the south, the British Council's Aqaba venue saves the trip to Amman, but it says to join its waiting list if no Aqaba dates show.
