BULATS

Business Language Testing Service

BULATS is a multilingual tool for companies and organisations that need a rapid, reliable and cost effective way of assessing the language skills of employees, trainees and job apllicants.

BULATS tests communication skills that are needed in real business situations. Unlike other assessment tools, it enables companies, organisations or individuals to test all four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - in four languages. This means that you can check that your people have exactly the skills they need for international buisness.

BULATS is available in English, French, German and Spanish

BULATS is developed and run by international consortium of examination providers, working together as part of the Association of Languages Testers in Europe. BULATS are developed according to the same standars as the partner organisations'world-famous language tests, and benefit from the same standards of quality control and customer service.

The partner organisations are:

University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (English)
Alliance Francaise (French)
Goethe Institut (German)
Universidad de Salamanca (Español)
