LONDON — The British Council in Nigeria has announced an increase in the fee for its English Language Testing System (IELTS) examinations.
Starting from February 1, 2024, the new fee for both the Computer Academic and General Training Modules will be N139,000.
The British Council stated that this adjustment is due to the rising costs associated with conducting the examinations.
In an official notice on their website, they explained, “We would like to inform you that there has been a review of our IELTS fees. The new price list of the IELTS range of tests offered by the British Council will be effective for registrations on or after February 1, 2024.”
The notice further clarified that the change in price is a response to the increased costs of delivering the exams.
“This adjustment is expected to support the continuation of a diverse range of services and comprehensive support for individuals striving to achieve their language proficiency goals,” it added.
The fee for the IELTS has been increased again, just five months after the previous adjustment in September 2023. The fee was previously in the range of N80,000 to N90,000 and has now been raised to N107,500.
The British Council is thankful to all the applicants and wants to highlight their dedication to offering valuable services.
The IELTS is widely acknowledged worldwide as a way to assess the language skills of individuals who are not native English speakers.
