The British Council is a partner of Carta Giovani Nazionale (the Italian National Youth Card), an initiative by the Department for Youth Policies and Universal Civil Service, aimed at offering dedicated opportunities to young people aged 18 to 35.

If you want to improve your English and open new doors in the world of study and work, this is the opportunity for you! Thanks to the collaboration between the British Council and Carta Giovani, you can access dedicated opportunities.

Active Opportunities

Aptis ESOL, the multi-level English test developed by British Council experts, offers an accurate, reliable, fast, and affordable assessment of communication skills across all four language abilities: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

Regulated by Ofqual and approved by AICLU (Italian Association of University Language Centres), Aptis ESOL is accepted by numerous Italian universities for admission, exemption from internal exams, obtaining university credits (CFU), and participation in international programs like Erasmus+.

The test is designed to provide a precise measurement of the ability to communicate in English in real-life contexts at all levels, from A1 to C2.

By using the dedicated discount code available on Carta Giovani, it will be possible to benefit from a 10% discount on the exam fee.
