Aptis ESOL - an innovative English language test

Aptis ESOL is recognised as an English language proficiency qualification officially recognised by multiple public bodies in Spain, including 16 Autonomous Communities and the CRUE. It is regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examination Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.

The British Council is also a member, associate or part of the executive committee of relevant and high level education organisations, such as EAQUALS, EALTA, and ALTE.

You should always confirm Aptis ESOL validity with the institution where you need to present your accreditation.

Aptis ESOL is available in three variants: Aptis ESOL General, Aptis ESOL for Teachers and Aptis ESOL Advanced

Aptis ESOL General and Aptis ESOL for Teachers assesses levels A1 to B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
