Case Study: British Council expands remote English testing access with Janison

British Council takes its English language testing beyond borders

The British Council faced significant challenges in delivering its Aptis English language tests globally, particularly in remote regions with poor internet connectivity and during COVID-19 lockdowns that closed test centers. Partnering with vendor Janison, the customer needed a robust solution to ensure business continuity and maintain access to these critical exams for candidates worldwide.

Janison developed its innovative Insights platform, featuring the Janison Replay assessment player. This technology allowed tests to continue seamlessly even during internet dropouts by switching to an offline mode, providing an uninterrupted experience. The results were substantial: over 3.3 million Aptis tests have been delivered online and remotely across more than 100 countries since 2017, ensuring life-changing opportunities for hundreds of thousands of candidates.
