The BULATS assesses the capacity of the candidates to use English in a professional context. The examination is designed to test very specifically what it takes to operate in the business environment: the participants must write a professional e-mail or letter, they have to do a presentation and take part in a formal interview.

The purpose of the BULATS is to improve the internal communication of international companies, to teach how to communicate with international customers and to improve the recruitment of English-speaking employees.
