Why choose Aptis?

Contact us

Aptis has been developed by the British Council, an organisation with more than 70 years’ experience in English assessment. British Council is a global leader in English testing, so you can be sure choosing Aptis is the right decision for your organisation’s English development needs.

Aptis is designed to be flexible and accessible, meaning more people can be assessed quickly and affordably. It allows you to test the skills relevant to your requirements accurately, and get results within as little as 24 hours.

The test combines a core grammar and vocabulary component with one or more of the skills components to give you an accurate and relevant assessment result.

By allowing you to test only the skills you wish to test, you can benchmark English language levels in your organisation and streamline recruitment processes – saving you time and money.
