Book your IELTS test with the British Council in Nigeria

We would like to inform you that there has been a review of IELTS test fees. The updated test fees for IELTS will take effect from 15 July 2025, for all tests scheduled on or after this date.
The new fees will be: 
-IELTS on Computer: N279,500
-UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI): N295,000
-Life Skills: N279,000.
While we appreciate that any changes in test fees can be challenging for customers, we do our best to absorb costs in order to deliver the greatest access to IELTS. However, rising costs related to test delivery, security measures, staffing, and infrastructure mean we periodically need to review fees.
We’ll continue to provide:
-Additional support for your IELTS Preparation. When you register, you will receive free access to official IELTS materials worth N270,000 - to prepare you to take your test.
-Flexible test options (Computer, Academic/General Training).
-A test recognised by over 12,500 institutions worldwide.
