Cambridge ESOL showcase the benefits of their online business English test
Multinational companies wishing to remain competitive in the current economic climate can now take advantage of the new online version of Cambridge ESOL’s popular Business Language Testing Service (BULATS). The online test has been launched to help organisations measure and develop their employees’ language ability in English, French, German and Spanish. This was demonstrated by Cambridge ESOL at a launch reception on 5 March in Cambridge.
Human Resources departments can use BULATS test results to make fast and accurate recruitment decisions. The event was introduced by Cambridge ESOL’s Chief Executive Dr Mike Milanovic whose opening speech covered the development of BULATS and the importance of this online milestone. Other speakers included Pete Sharma, the author, academic and specialist in the use of new technology for language learning. His presentation, 'The Impact of the Internet on Language Learning and Assessment in Global Companies' was followed by the launch reception.
The online version of BULATS will provide commercial organisations with a robust and reliable language test which has the flexibility to be taken at a time that suits the individual. It is now available in Western Europe and will be rolled out to all other markets early 2009.
