English language students and learners are very eager to get accreditation to benefit their professional careers, broaden travel opportunities, and improve their ability to communicate globally.
There are a number of exams that are known internationally:

It is managed by the British Council, Cambridge English Language Assessment and a consortium of Australian institutions, and is offered in general and academic versions. A new Speaking and Listening test, IELTS Life Skills, was introduced in 2015 specifically to meet the requirements for some classes of UK visa application.
(2) TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), an Educational Testing Service, developed and used primarily for academic institutions in the USA, and now widely accepted in tertiary institutions in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Japan, South Korea, and Ireland.
