MTS brings year-round IELTS testing to Brighton, with our LOVE BRIGHTON, LOVE IELTS campaign

Brighton’s creative energy, seaside buzz and quick links to London make it an ideal place to focus and smash your IELTS goals, and MTS is delighted to offer year-round IELTS testing in the glittering city of Brighton & Hove. Even better: as part of our LOVE BRIGHTON, LOVE IELTS campaign, MTS’s IELTS test fee is just £210 for all Brighton IELTS tests registered and paid-for by 31 December 2025 (normal price £245).

Why Brighton is a brilliant place to take IELTS

From the shimmering Royal Pavilion, built as a seaside retreat for the Prince Regent and later King George IV, to the maze of independent boutique shops in The Lanes, Brighton blends history with modern culture in a way few UK cities can. You’re also superbly connected: Brighton is around an hour by train from London and about 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport, so getting to your test is simple.

Are you a Londoner? Consider a day trip to Brighton. Often dubbed "London-on-Sea" by some commentators, Brighton is easily reached from many London train stations, or by car.

Make a weekend of it after your exam: ride the Brighton i360 viewing platform for sweeping sea-to-Downs views from a 162-metre observation tower, stroll along the Brighton Palace Pier, or hop aboard Volk’s Electric Railway, the world’s oldest operating electric railway (running since 1883). Brighton isn’t just fun, it’s popular. Over 12 million day and overnight trips were made to Brighton & Hove in 2023, supporting a £1.28 billion visitor economy.

Best on price, best on experience

MTS’s Brighton exam venue is centrally located a short walk from Brighton station, it is set up for calm, secure testing with friendly, locally based staff who’ll help you feel settled so you can perform at your best. And with our special £210 IELTS test fee in Brighton valid through to 31 December 2025, we’re determined to be unbeatable on value and quality.

Academic or General Training; we’ve got you

Whether you need IELTS (Academic) or IELTS (General Training), MTS Brighton can help you prepare and test. MTS also delivers IELTS on Paper and IELTS on Computer in Brighton – giving you extra choice. IELTS is recognised by more than 12,500 organisations worldwide, and for UK study you should always check the exact score and test type your university requires.

What about healthcare and professional routes (NHS-linked roles)?

If you’re a healthcare professional, regulators such as the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) and the General Medical Council (GMC) accept IELTS as evidence of English for registration, a key step for many NHS roles.

Need IELTS for UKVI?

For UK visas and immigration, IELTS for UKVI (including Life Skills) is approved by the UK Home Office as a Secure English Language Test (SELT). This version of the IELTS test is delivered by the British Council directly. You can book the UKVI version via the British Council and be sure to scroll down to select the correct “IELTS for UK Visas” option.
