BULATS Español

BULATS was developed in cooperation with UCLES, the Alliance Française, Goethe Institut, ALTE (the Association of Language Testers in Europe) and the Instituto Cervantes. BULATS is used by organizations and companies as a language assessment tool; it is designed to test the language proficiency of employees and job applicants in business/professional contexts.

Structure

BULATS comprises several tests that can be taken separately or in combination:

  • The Standard BULATS Test; testing overall language ability (110 minutes: 50 minutes for listening and 60 minutes for reading and language knowledge)

  • The BULATS Speaking Test; testing speaking skills in a one-to-one interview with the examiner, presentation, discussion (approx. 12 minutes)

  • The BULATS Writing Test; testing writing skills with an evaluation based on the five levels of the ALTE reference framework (45 minutes)

  • The BULATS Computer Test, with a computer selecting each question on the basis of the previous answer. As a result, the test becomes progressively easier or more difficult until a consistent level of ability is achieved. The Computer Test assesses listening and reading skills, and knowledge of grammar and vocabulary (approx. 60 minutes)


Results

The test candidate will receive a certification with the total grade (scale of 0-100), the reached authority stage (according to the ALTE reference framework 0-5, where 5 corresponds to the highest stage) and the notes of each examination.
