Affiliate Programme
Get paid for every learner you bring to IELPS
Teachers, tutors, schools and communities already recommend IELPS. The affiliate programme pays you a share of what your referrals spend - on their first purchase and on every renewal after it.
You need an IELPS account. Your dashboard issues the tracked link.
How it works
Share your link
Your Partner Dashboard issues a tracked link. A click is counted once per visitor per hour, and automated traffic is not counted at all.
Earn when they pay
The referral is bound to your link for 60 days on a last-click basis. You earn commission on their first payment and on every renewal that follows, for as long as they stay.
Withdraw once it clears
Commission is held for 35 days to cover the refund window, then becomes available. Withdrawals are paid through Stripe Connect from $50.

Activation bonus
A one-off $5 on top of commission the first time a referral pays. It is paid once per referral, ever.
Team overrides
If you introduce another partner, you also earn 10% of their commission, and 5% of the commission of anyone they introduce.
The rules, in plain terms
- Attribution
- Last click wins, for 60 days from the click. One learner is attributed to one partner; a referral who has already earned you commission is not re-assigned to someone else.
- When you earn
- On a successful payment - the first one and every renewal. A refunded or charged-back payment reverses the commission it created.
- Hold period
- Commission is pending for 35 days, then becomes available to withdraw. The hold covers the refund window.
- Withdrawals
- From $50, paid through Stripe Connect. You will be asked to complete Stripe’s payout onboarding before the first withdrawal.
- Not allowed
- Referring yourself, paid search on IELPS brand terms, and any automated or incentivised clicking. Suspected cases are held for review before payment, not after.
The programme is governed by the IELPS Terms of Use and Refund Policy.
