The British Council in Nigeria has once again increased the fee for English Language Testing System examinations by 29%, as indicated in a notice published on the council’s website. Starting from February 1, 2024, applicants will be required to pay N139,000 for the Computer Academic and General Training Modules.
Widely accepted globally by non-native English speakers as proof of language proficiency, the IELTS examination has undergone this fee adjustment, attributed by the council to the rising costs associated with conducting the tests. The revised price list for the IELTS range of tests offered by the British Council will be applicable for registrations on or after February 1, 2024, according to the council’s announcement.
The British Council in Nigeria has announced new prices for various IELTS exams, attributing the change to increased delivery costs. The revised prices, effective from February 1, 2024, are as follows:
- 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 notice expresses gratitude for choosing the British Council and explains that the adjustment in prices is necessary to sustain a broad spectrum of services and comprehensive support for goal achievement. This marks the second price increase in five months, following the previous adjustment in September 2023 when the examination fees rose from a range of N80,000 to N90,000 to a uniform ₦107,500.
