British Council in Nigeria has again increased the fees for taking the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination, the second time in five months.
Gatekeepers News reports that the latest increment was announced in a recent statement on its official website.
The Council stated that the newly increased fees of N139,000 are for both computer academic and general training modules.
The new fee will take effect from February 1, 2024.
The council attributed this adjustment to the rising examination costs.
“We would like to inform you that our IELTS fees have been reviewed. The new price list of the IELTS range of tests offered by the British Council will be effective for registrations on or after February 1 2024,” it stated.
“The new prices will be:
IELTS on Computer Academic and General Training Modules: ₦139,000
IELTS on Paper Academic and General Training Modules: ₦134,000
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI): ₦149,000
Life Skills: ₦130,000
One Skill Retake (O.S.R): ₦87,570
“The change in price is associated with the increased costs of the delivery of our exams. This will enable us to continue to offer a wide range of services and comprehensive support to enable you to achieve your goals.
“Thank you for choosing the British Council,” the notice read.
In September 2023, the British Council had hiked the fee from a range of N80,000 to N90,000 to the current N107,500.
