IELTS in Armenia — the fee in AMD, Yerevan and Gyumri centres and the scores your route needs

The British Council runs IELTS on computer, with One Skill Retake, at its office at 9 Grigor Lusavorich Street, Yerevan (the only UKVI-approved venue), at the National Polytechnic University of Armenia on Teryan Street, Yerevan, and at the Gyumri Technology Centre. No paper test is listed. The finder also lists IELTS Online for this country, an Academic test taken at home. Check that your target accepts it before you book: the University of Toronto does, but McGill's graduate programmes, UNSW and Nazarbayev University do not.

Australia's Proficient English (IELTS 7.0 each) adds 10 points and Superior (8.0 each) adds 20, achieved within three years of the visa application. Canada accepts only IELTS General Training for Express Entry, and the result must be under two years old. UK universities usually ask 6.0 to 6.5 for undergraduate and 6.5 to 7.0 for postgraduate study.

McGill accepts IELTS only when sent electronically by the test centre, and does not accept One Skill Retake. McGill does not accept PTE or IELTS Online for graduate admission. Toronto accepts IELTS Online and UKVI sittings but not One Skill Retake, and wants every score from a single test date. Melbourne gives every course an English level on its course page; Level 1 is the lowest in its table, and it accepts IELTS One Skill Retake taken within 60 days.
