An academy built around a single exam
helloAptisUP does one thing: prepare you for the Aptis ESOL test. Every lesson, exercise and mock test exists because it moves you towards B1, B2 or C1 in that exam, not because it fills a syllabus.
Only Aptis ESOL
Task types, timing and assessment criteria follow the public specifications of the test.
Two clear paths
Choose B1, B2 or C1 as your goal. Content is labelled by level, so you always know what you are working on.
Original materials
Texts, audio scripts and questions are written for helloAptisUP. Nothing is copied from official papers.
A method you can follow week by week
Four steps that repeat until exam day.
- 01
Diagnose
A level test and your first results show where you stand in each skill.
- 02
Plan
You choose a goal, an exam date and the time you have. The platform turns that into a study calendar.
- 03
Practise
Lessons explain; interactive exercises make you use what you learned, with immediate correction and explanations.
- 04
Measure
Mock tests and progress charts show what has improved and what still needs work.

Frequently asked questions
Is helloAptisUP an official British Council platform?
No. helloAptisUP is an independent preparation academy. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the British Council, which owns and administers the Aptis ESOL test.
Does helloAptisUP guarantee that I will get a B1, B2 or C1?
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee an exam result. helloAptisUP gives you a plan, practice and feedback; the result depends on your starting level, the time you invest and your performance on the day.
Who is it for?
For learners preparing the Aptis ESOL test who are aiming at B1, B2 or C1. If you are unsure which variant of the test you need, check with the institution that asks you for the certificate.
How are Writing and Speaking assessed?
Writing tasks receive automatic feedback based on rules and rubrics. Speaking tasks are recorded so you can listen to yourself and rate your answer against a rubric. Neither is a human correction or an official assessment, and the platform says so wherever results are shown.
Are the scores official?
No. Mock test results and level estimates are internal, indicative figures designed to guide your study. They are not equivalent to an official Aptis score.
What does the Free plan include, and when do I need to pay?
The Free plan has no time limit. Paid plans add full access, study programmes and more mock tests. Paid plans are not on sale yet; the prices shown are indicative.
