Description

The British Council is looking for Authorised Test Centres to deliver Aptis ESOL sessions in the following countries: Italy

Please note, we are seeking Authorised Test Centres in Major Cities only.

About Aptis ESOL: Aptis ESOL is a high stakes English Language Test entirely developed and owned by the British Council and recognised by The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). Tests are subject to clear rules and requirements around the quality of the test environment, the security of the test and the actions of test day staff.
The test consists of a 3-hour written and speaking test taken on computer. Tests usually can have different start times across the day and can be scheduled for any day of the week, although some days, especially Saturdays are more popular.
What is an Authorised Test Centre: As an Authorised Test Centre, you would be responsible for performing customer services, administrative duties and delivering Aptis ESOL B2C (add country/countries per cluster ) and B2B (Business to Business - institutions registering candidates) tests at times and on dates agreed with British Council
