Launch of British Council Aptis test today

Posted on 14/09/2012 by alexcase

… making it, I imagine, the biggest example of the British Council both supporting and competing with other British-owned ELT organisations, for better or worse, but not much info online in English yet:

A very short announcement on The Times of India website

Details of a workshop about it that happened in August

    Found the official page:
    http://www.britishcouncil.org/exams/aptis

    Sounds a bit like BULATS, but with interviews available over the phone. You can also take demo tests there.

    Yes and when you call them to ask them how much the cost of testing is no one can give you an answer or are reluctant to?? And one operator at the British Council in the UK said – you don’t want Aptis thats really only for companies and business situations and directed me to the IELTS. What is the mystery on the APTIS costs!!!!

    Not that much of a mystery, to be honest. Like BULATS, it will never be available to individual test takers but only to groups of people arranged through their company, university etc. I imagine that means the cost is fairly negotiable.
