The University of Canterbury – Centre for Assessment and Monitoring caters to the many international students and workers Christchurch attracts who need to sit a recognised English test for study, professional reasons or migration.
We are immensely proud to be able to offer more choices to our test takers who for many will become students of the University of Canterbury.
The University of Canterbury-Centre for Assessment and Monitoring will offer IELTS as a computer delivered option as of June 2021. IELTS on computer offers results in 3-5 days, with tests taking place initially 2 days a week.

About computer-delivered IELTS
- Computer-delivered IELTS was launched in Australia in December 2017 and has been introduced across the IELTS testing network since 2018.
- The test is the same as paper-based IELTS for content, scoring, timing, level of difficulty, question format and security arrangements.
- Computer-delivered IELTS includes Listening, Reading and Writing. The Speaking test continues to be face-to-face, as it is a more reliable indicator of communication and it is what our test takers tell us feels more natural for them.
- Computer-delivered IELTS will not replace paper-based IELTS but rather offer a choice in delivery and more availability.
- Results of computer-delivered IELTS are available between 3-5 days after taking all four test sections rather than 13 days if taking paper based.
- The IELTS partners are committed to continuous investment in test development to enhance the IELTS experience.
- IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English.
