In light of the current global health crisis, we have been busy finding ways to reduce the impact on our day-to-day business and continue serving candidates who rely on our services to progress their studies or career. At ISLPR Language Services (ILS), we firmly believe social distancing must be practised.

As you may be aware, the Australian and New Zealand Governments introduced new rules and regulations over the weekend in an effort to control the COVID-19 outbreak. Regardless of your own personal views, ISLPR Language Services will be taking great caution when it comes to protecting our staff, customers, families and friends. Due to the close nature of the ISLPR test (one-to-one testing in a small enclosed room), the sensible thing to do at the moment is heed the advice of the Australian government and health officials and practise social distancing. We believe that, if all citizens heed the advice provided by the authorities, we may be able to reduce the impact this virus will have on our community and, in particular, the health system in Australia.

UPDATE: due to COVID-19 we are unable to confirm future travel dates to Auckland. We will notify candidates via email once we have more information to share.
We are a Brisbane based company that travels to conduct the test in different locations. Although restrictions are easing and the QLD border has opened to New Zealand, the New Zealand border has not opened to QLD. Therefore, we are unable to confirm new test dates as we are still required to quarantine for two weeks when we arrive in NZ. Please note that we are keeping up to date with all the changes to restrictions. As soon as it is possible for us to travel again we will let you know.
The ISLPR® test is currently accepted by the New Zealand Teacher Registration Board. Why choose the ISLPR® test? The ISLPR® test is a personalised English test that focuses on your background and needs when formulating the content of the test. Each test is individually prepared by your tester to ensure the content is relevant to you e.g. a teacher might be asked in the writing test to write a letter to a parent explaining why their child was given a detention.

Ever wondered how and where to use a comma? Then this blog post is for you!If an adverb, adverbial phrase or adverbial clause comes before the verb it refers to, put a comma after it (or if it is in the middle of a sentence, before and after it). If an adverb, adverbial phrase or adverbial clause comes after the verb it refers to, there generally is no comma.
