What is APTIS?
The APTIS test is a language assessment tool developed by the British Council to determine a candidate’s level of English, i.e. A1, A2, B1, B2 or C. The exam consists of five sections (speaking, listening, grammar and vocabulary, writing and reading comprehension). It is computer-based and it is taken on a single day.
On May 2, 2014, the Department of Education of the Balearic Islands Government recognised the validity of this qualification to enable teachers to teach a non-linguistic subject in English.See resolution on recognised foreign language proficiency certificates
