Naconfused ako. For state sponsorship, ano po ba talaga need General or Academics IELTS

Check mo sa state on what is their requirement, I think it varies...
HOWEVER, for accountants (in their skills assessment), ang kailangan dito is Academic; having said this, since mahal ang IELTS usually isa lang ang ginagamit na results for state sponsorship purpose and/or skills assessments.
If you ask a computer related skill migrant who opted for state sponsorship, ang sasabihin cguro nila na general IELTS ang kinuha nila.
hope this helps!
