British Council IELTS Partners British Council IELTS Partners is a scheme for organisations which either register IELTS candidates on behalf of the British Council, or which refer candidates to a British Council registration point. It is designed to show our appreciation for the support you offer us. There are three levels; Bronze, Silver and Gold. Your membership level depends on the number of candidates you register or refer. Your level is reviewed every year. You earn 1 point for every candidate who registers for IELTS with the British Council as a result of your action. Here is how you will be placed on your initial level:

British Council IELTS Partner Brand Guide British Council IELTS registration and referral partners benefit from access to the British Council brand and logo. Partners can mark their relationship with the British Council in three ways. 1. A relationship statement which announces and explains the nature of our partnership and your connection to the British Council: We / [your company name] are an official British Council IELTS partner in Vietnam. We work together to deliver IELTS to Vietnam test candidates. 2. A “badge� that allows you to place the British Council and IELTS logos on your printed or online material. The badge also carries the statement: Official British Council Partner. Badges are available in various sizes. Here is an example:
Important: only badges and banner links supplied by the British Council can be used by partners. Any change in size or wording must be first agreed with the British Council. Further guidelines: o
