Choose a test you can trust
We put a lot of emphasis on research, from test development through to marking, quality assurance and evaluation. Aptis is developed by our team of experts, based on the latest theory in assessment, the socio-cognitive framework and our ongoing research work. Our strict examiner monitoring rules ensure that results are accurate and reliable and you can have trust in them when developing education programmes, school curricula and English policies.

Assessment designed to suit your needs
In addition to the General Aptis version, we have also designed variants specifically for teachers. With Aptis for Teachers you can assess their language proficiency in a relevant and reliable way to inform your language policies.
We can also work with your teams to develop customised assessment solutions that meet the specific needs of the local context at an international standard and ensure the sustainability of the testing system.
