Aptis is a new and modern product and a new edition to the British Council’s portfolio of English and Examinations products.

Aptis is a business-to-business English assessment service available to organisations not individuals, and is the latest edition to the British Council’s English and Examinations portfolio of products, allowing the Council to offer a complete solution for organisations’ English development needs.

Aptis is a flexible and adaptable English test for adults, which can be used to assess ability in all four English skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing). It can also be customised to test one or more specific skills, which allows organisations to test the skills relevant to their needs. The content of Aptis can be adapted to suit a specific domain, such as for teaching or travel and tourism, as well customised to suit specific cultural contexts and variants of English.

The results are available in as little as 24 hours.

Leading the industry in technology, Aptis uses a revolutionary new interactive platform, which develops, manages, delivers and monitors the test simultaneously. This platform also enables organisations to administer the test themselves, at a time that suits them.

The innovative marking system of Aptis is task-based rather than test-based. This means in one task several people in different locations around the world mark different items within the test, all through the online platform.
