What the British Council English app is for

The app is a companion for adults who are already registered British Council students. It does not replace a course. It gives students a way to check their lessons, work through exercises and keep track of their progress from a phone.

The listing says it covers four kinds of study: the flexible online course, the English Self-Study course, IELTS Coach online, and in-person classes at British Council teaching centres. Students on any of these, online or in a classroom, are the intended users.

Managing lessons, bookings and class credit

Students can see their upcoming lessons and receive confirmations for their bookings. The listing also says the app shows a class credit balance, so a student can check how much credit remains without contacting the centre.

Account management sits in the same app. The listing does not describe the details of these settings beyond saying that students can manage their account from it.

Exercises and course materials

The app gives access to exercises and course materials, which students can use to practise between lessons. The listing presents this as support for the course, so it is most useful alongside a taught class or a self-study course.

Because the same app covers online and in-person courses, a student who attends classes at a centre can still reach the exercises and materials for that course on their phone.

Progress badges and course certificates

The app records learning progress and awards achievement badges as students move through their course. The listing does not explain how badges are earned, only that they are collected.

When a course is finished, the student can download a certificate from the app. The listing presents this as a finished-course document that students keep, with the download available once the course is complete.
