It is up to the individual education provider to determine which test is fit for purpose, and the test taker to ensure they meet all visa requirements.
The IELTS Academic test is suitable for those wanting to study at a university in an English-speaking environment. It can also be used for professional registration purposes (eg. doctors and lawyers).
