[Audio] A need to help students and families pursue their dreams of studying abroad became evident as the world became more interconnected during the 1960s and 70s. Hence, the American Australian University Consultancy Service (AAUCS) was established in 1969. Subsequently, the organization rebranded and changed its name to the International Development Program, known as IDP in 1981. IDP then co-founded the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) in 1989 in order to further facilitate these dreams. Until today, IDP Education, the British Council and Cambridge Assessment English are jointly owning this globally recognized assessment..

IDP then became a publicly listed company in 2015 when it sold its 50% shares to the public. In January 2017, IDP bought UK educational listings company Hotcourses for £30 million. This company was co-founded by British politician and former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. In January 2022, IDP acquired British Council's IELTS business for India, allowing IDP to deliver all IELTS tests in India to completion in August.

Own up to our mistakes and take responsibility for our actions. Now let's look at what NOT TO DO. Don't get defensive. Even if we feel wrongfully accused or judged, it's best to stay calm and focused on the issue at hand. Don't be judgmental. Everyone has a unique situation, and we want to be respectful and understanding. Don't be patronizing. Even if we think we know better, it's important to give people the benefit of the doubt.
