The Business Language Testing Service (BULATS) is a language assessment service specifically for the use of companies and organisations which need a reliable way of assessing the language ability of groups of employees or trainees.

The service is designed to test the language of employees who need to use English language in their work, and for students and employees on language courses or on professional/business courses where English language ability is an important element of the course.
