Finding the right English assessment can be a challenge. You need a test that is accurate and reliable, but also flexible enough to fit your specific schedule and budget. That is why we developed Aptis.
What is Aptis?
Aptis is a modern, computer-based English testing system designed by British Council experts.
- Unlike traditional "one-size-fits-all" exams, Aptis is modular.
- This means you can test all four language skills - listening, reading, speaking and writing - or just the ones most relevant to your needs.
How it works
The test is adaptable and efficient.
- Core component: Every candidate takes a grammar and vocabulary module.
- Skills modules: You choose which of the four skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) to combine with the core component.
- Delivery: Tests can be delivered on demand, at a date and time that suits you, either online or in person.
Who is it for?
Aptis is used by organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa to benchmark English proficiency.
- Employers: Screen candidates quickly during recruitment or audit current staff skills to plan training.
- Universities: Place students in the right programmes or assess progress before graduation.
- Ministries: Benchmark teacher proficiency to improve national education standards.
Why choose Aptis?
- Flexibility: Test only what you need, when you need it.
- Fast results: Receive accurate score reports within 48 hours.
- Global standard: Results are mapped to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), ensuring they are understood worldwide.
