Introduction
The IELTS Partners are committed to providing services to our customers to the highest global standard. We want to hear from you if you feel we haven’t met your needs, as complaints help us to improve our products, services and test takers’ experience. We strive to resolve any area of dissatisfaction or complaints that you have in a fair and timely manner.
How can complaints be made?
If your IELTS experience has not gone the way you expected, the first step is to speak with your test centre. In most cases your test centre will be able to resolve your issue directly. If you are unable to contact your test centre for any reason, you can contact us by following this link.
You should contact us as soon as possible with your complaint. The sooner we can start investigating your case, the easier it will be to gather all the information needed to provide a full response. Where possible, we encourage you to contact us with your complaint on the day of your test or prior to results release.
How do we deal with complaints?
We are committed to offering you the best service we can and work to resolve matters quickly and fairly. All complaints received are dealt with seriously and impartially.
Your complaint will be dealt with in the strictest confidence, in line with our Privacy Policy. Information about you will be shared internally, only as necessary to investigate the complaint. We will only disclose your information to third parties with your consent, or if we are legally required to do so.
Who can make a complaint?
A complaint may be made by the person who is affected by the action, or it may be made by a person acting on behalf of the person affected where that person is a child under 18.
