Cambridge ESOL Business Certificates (BEC exams) can help you get ahead in your career. They are internationally recognised qualifications that show you have learnt English to an appropriate standard and can use it in a professional context.
Studying for BEC will help you improve your language skills and learn to use them in business.
A BEC certificate proves that you can actually use the language and not just that you know about vocabulary and grammar, because the exams are based on realistic business tasks.
BEC exams are available at three levels. Below are brief descriptions of each level. Click on the British Council centre nearest to you (on the left) for information about exam dates, cost and enrolment. For more information about each exam click on the link to Cambridge ESOL.
