Description
Who We Are**:
At IDP we’re bringing the world a little bit closer together each day through the power of education. In fact, we’ve been innovating in this space for over 50 years and are just getting started.
That’s why IDP is recognized around the world as a leader in the global education services industry. We’re publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (IEL:ASX) with a current market cap in excess of $7 billion, operate out of 62 counties, and our websites attract more than 100 million visitors every year.
Today, we’re making education more accessible, helping students feel more connected, and ensuring students perform better in both their schooling and ultimately their career through the power of our digital platform. Here’s how:
- With IELTS Online, we’re making the world’s most popular English language test for work, study, and migration available to people when they want it, where they want it, and how they want it.
- We’re leveraging the power of data to guide educational institutions the world over to ensure decisions are informed by the diverse needs, challenges and motivations of students, helping to create better educational outcomes for all.
