Academic or General Training?
Hello good people!
I’m a former IELTS (academic) taker and, my little brother is gonna take IELTS sometime later. I was exploring their official website when I got stuck at one point and now I’m experiencing indecision about whether my brother should go for academic or GT.
To give a little intro about him, he is a professional chef, currently working at a well-known restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh. As we were discussing about his gateway to abroad, he was thinking of either pursuing a Masters degree or straight up working if any opportunity comes.
Now, for academic purpose, he should consider “Academic” whereas if it’s for work, he should go for “General Training”. Let’s say he registered for academic (which will be tough for him in terms of reading and writing), and then suddenly he got a chance to go to a country for work purpose where they might need a moderate band score (and vice versa). What would be the best choice for him to make in this situation?
