Dublin IELTS Location

Our venue in Dublin holds both Paper-based and Computer-based IELTS tests.

 

Before the day of your test, check the start time of your IELTS test and make sure you know how to get to the test venue on time.

 

We recommend doing this a week in advance so you’re fully prepared. Make sure to arrive early at the test venue. If you arrive late to the venue, you may not be permitted to sit the test.
