Both are accepted for Australian visas. Here's how they compare.
| Feature | LanguageCert | IELTS |
|---|---|---|
| Accepted for Australia Visa | Yes — All Subclasses (Aug 2025) | Yes — All Subclasses |
| Speaking Assessment | Live Human via Video | Face-to-Face Human Examiner |
| Listening Audio | Played TWICE | Played Once |
| Writing Time | 50 Minutes | 60 Minutes |
| Results Speed | 5 Working Days | 3-5 Days (PC) / 13 Days (Paper) |
| Exam Fee (India) | ~₹17,000 | ₹19,000 |
| Score Validity (PR Visas) | 3 Years | 3 Years |
| Retake Policy (DHA Accepted) | Full Test Retake Required | One Skill Retake (OSR) Accepted |
| Test Format | Computer-Based (Test Centre) | Paper or Computer |
| Test Availability in India | Major Hubs (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Jalandhar) | Nationwide — Very High |
Bottom Line: Both are accepted for all Australian visa subclasses. Choose LanguageCert if you prefer human-assessed Speaking and audio played twice. Choose IELTS if you need wider test centre availability in India or want the One Skill Retake option accepted by DHA.
Two separate exams: Written (L/R/W) & Spoken (S). Take them together or apart within 14 days.
Listening, Reading, Writing. Computer-based at test center.
Duration: ~2 hours (varies by level)
1-on-1 with Human Interlocutor.
Unlike PTE (Computer), you talk to a real person. Duration: 12-15 min.
Best Feature: If you pass Speaking but fail Written, you keep the Speaking score! You only retake the Written part.

Yes! LanguageCert Academic is accepted by the Australian Department of Home Affairs (since Aug 2025) for all visa subclasses. It is also approved by UK Home Office as a SELT provider. The others accepted by both countries include IELTS and PTE.
Academic SELT tests all 4 skills (L/R/W/S) at B1-C2 levels for UK student visa. General SELT also tests all 4 skills at A2-C1 levels for UK work visa. International ESOL SELT tests only Speaking & Listening at A1-B1 levels for UK spouse visa, settlement (ILR), and citizenship.
Academic SELT (4 skills): $165 USD (~₹15,500). General SELT (4 skills): $165 USD (~₹15,500). Speaking & Listening only (2 skills): $165 USD (~₹15,500). The Take2 retake option costs extra but gives you a free retake if you fail.
