About the requirement

From the notice

The British Council is looking for Partner Testing Points (PTPs) to deliver IELTS on Computer test sessions in the following countries: Romania and Bulgaria. Please note, we are seeking Partner Testing Points in Major Cities only. About IELTS: IELTS is a high stakes English Language test which is accepted by more than 12000 organisations worldwide. IELTS is trusted because of its reliable content and secure delivery. Tests are subject to clear rules and requirements around the quality of the test environment, the security of the test and the actions of test day staff. The test consists of a 3-hour written test taken on computer and a 15-minute speaking exam, delivered via the internet. Tests usually start at 9am or 1pm and can be scheduled for any day of the week, although some days, especially Saturdays are more popular. What is a PTP: As a Partner Testing Point, you would be responsible for delivering scheduled IELTS tests at times and on dates agreed with British Council. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No[E5]
