Carefully designed for companies and language centres, the BULATS test helps you to assess the language skills which are needed for the workplace. It can be used in a wide range of situations for staff, trainees or job applicants: e.g. in a recruitment process, for placement in a training programme or testifying progress at the end of it, or in decisions regarding promotion. BULATS can also be a requirement in obtaining a degree: e.g. the ‘Commission des Titres d’Ingénieurs’ is advising its students to take BULATS in order to get the level of English required for the achievement of their degree in engineering.
Because it is user-friendly, BULATS makes it easy to get a clear and reliable assessment of the listening, reading and language knowledge skills of your employees in a foreign language.
THE BENEFITS:
*CEF : « Common European Framework of Reference for Languages »
**ALTE : « Association of Language Testers in Europe »
THE TYPES OF BULATS TEST:
COMPUTER-BASED ONLINE or CD ROM TEST
The computer-based online or CD Rom tests are exactly the same: they both use 'adaptive' testing techniques to pinpoint language abilities quickly and accurately, from a beginner level to an upper-advanced level. As the candidate progresses through the test, the computer selects the next question on the basis of the previous answers, becoming progressively easier or more difficult until a consistent and accurate level of language is determined.
PAPER-BASED TEST
The paper-based test is made up of questions booklets, answer sheets and a CD for the Listening skill. Once your order is placed, we assign a specific version of the test to you. We need to receive your order at least three weeks before the test date in order for us to prepare and send all the papers on time by express mail.
RESULTS:
Whatever way the BULATS test is taken, the Test Report Forms indicating the candidate's score are identical and use the same scale. They feature the candidate’s name, the name of the company/organisation if required, the test date, and the result:
- The overall results are given as a level (based on the CEFR system from A1 to C2), as well as a global score on a scale of 0 – 100.
If the test has taken place under Cambridge exams conditions, the Test Report Form can be printed by the supervisor onto official BULATS report form paper. On the reverse of this report is a summary of the 'Can Do' statements.
