Which IELTS test to practice
For pharmacy registration, practice IELTS Academic. The pharmacy regulators in Great Britain, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand ask for IELTS Academic. In Canada, the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) recommends it in the language policy that provincial and territorial regulators adopt or adapt. Listening and Speaking are the same in IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training; only Reading and Writing differ. In the USA, pharmacists educated abroad need FPGEC Certification, which includes a passing TOEFL iBT score.
The score to aim for
Each registration body sets its own IELTS band and test type.
| Regulator | Country | IELTS Academic minimum |
|---|---|---|
| General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) | Great Britain | 7 overall and 7 in each skill, at one sitting |
| Pharmacy Board of Australia | Australia | 7 overall; Listening 7, Reading 7, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7 |
| Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) | Ireland | 7 overall; Listening 7, Reading 7, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7 |
| Pharmacy Council of New Zealand | New Zealand | 7.0 in each skill |
| Provincial and territorial pharmacy regulators | Canada | NAPRA recommends Listening 7.0, Reading 7.0, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0; each regulator sets its final requirement |
Before you book the real test
In Great Britain, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, your result generally needs to be less than two years old when you apply. Australia and Ireland do not accept tests taken at home. IELTS One Skill Retake counts in Australia and New Zealand, but not in Ireland. The GPhC accepts IELTS for UKVI, but not IELTS for UKVI Life Skills. Check before you book: Who accepts IELTS.
