Aptis is a new and innovative global English assessment tool from the British Council. It is designed to help organisations reach more people, connect with them and raise standards of English.

Aptis is an English test for adults, which can be used to assess ability in all four English skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing. It also allows organisations and individuals to develop specific English skills, with the ability to test just one skill, e.g. listening only (combined with the core grammar and vocabulary component).

Aptis is uniquely flexible and accessible; it allows you to test the skills relevant to your requirements accurately, and get results within as little as 24 hours. Aptis is also an affordable and efficient test, with fresh, relevant content, meaning more people can be assessed with minimum fuss.

APTIS STRUCTURE

Aptis is made up of a number of components which are taken in packages rather than individually. You select the core language knowledge component (grammar and vocabulary) and combine it with separate skills components for accurate and relevant testing that meets your needs. If you wish to test a mix of skills, different components can be taken together.
