IELTS in Namibia — the fee in NAD, the Windhoek test centre and the scores your route needs

The British Council runs IELTS on computer at the Namibia Institute of Public Administration on Paul Nash Street, Olympia, Windhoek. If your UK visa needs a Secure English Language Test, IELTS for UKVI is not listed in Namibia, but PTE Academic UKVI is, at Pearson's Windhoek centre for USD 280.

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.

UCT's results must be no more than two years old, and these are the minimums for consideration; faculties can set higher. Wits lists IELTS 6.5 or Cambridge C1 Advanced 185 for admission, and TOEFL only in exceptional cases; PTE is not on its list. Melbourne gives every course an English level on its course page; Level 1 is the lowest in its table.
