Starting from September 2023, the British Council has announced a revision in the pricing structure for its academic International English Language Testing System exams (IELTS) in Nigeria. According to the information posted on the British Council’s official website on Thursday, Nigerians will now be required to pay N107,500 for these exams.
The British Council clarified that this adjustment is a response to the need to uphold the rigorous standards that ensure the quality of the testing experience. The Council also indicated that the new pricing model applies to IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training.
Currently, the cost of the IELTS test in Nigeria ranges between N80,000 and N90,000. The upcoming price of N107,500 represents an increase of nearly three times the minimum wage of N30,000.
The British Council’s statement elaborates: “Dear valued Test Taker, we would like to inform you that effective from 1 September 2023, there will be a price increase for IELTS tests offered by the British Council. The new prices will be NGN 107,500 for IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, NGN 116,000 for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), and NGN 104,000 for Life Skills. The new prices are necessary to sustain the high quality of standards for your testing experience. Thank you for choosing the British Council.”
