Comparing IELTS classes in Nepal comes down to two questions almost nobody answers publicly: what the course costs, and how far you are from an official test venue. We collect both. IELTS remains the default English test for most destinations. British Council and IDP run official venues in seven cities, so you can usually sit the test without travelling to Kathmandu.
Listings for this page are being verified. We check every consultancy against the Ministry of Education register before we publish it, and we publish a fee only where the consultancy has disclosed one. We would rather show you nothing than show you something we have not checked — roughly 900 of about 5,000 consultancies in Kathmandu Valley hold a permit, and telling those apart is the whole point of this directory.

Official venues operate in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Butwal, Biratnagar, Nepalgunj and Birtamode.
We rank on facts anyone can check, which means a consultancy cannot buy a better position. Advertising buys a labelled placement and nothing else.
Disclosure. Some listings are sponsored. Sponsored listings carry a visible label, never appear above the top-ranked organic result, and sponsorship never changes a review score or an algorithmic position.
Course fees vary widely between providers and are rarely published in a comparable form, which is exactly why we collect them per institute. Any institute that will not put its course fee in writing before you enrol is one you cannot compare, and we record those as “not disclosed”.

Most courses run a few weeks to a couple of months. The bigger scheduling risk is the test date rather than the course: official venues fill up and results take time to issue, so book the test before you finish the course.
