Achieve your ambitions in international business

Cambridge English: Business Certificates, also known as Business English Certificates (BEC), are a suite of three English language qualifications for international business.

Cambridge English: Business Preliminary (BEC Preliminary) – CEFR Level B1
Cambridge English: Business Vantage (BEC Vantage) – CEFR Level B2
Cambridge English: Business Higher (BEC Higher) – CEFR Level C1

They will help you to achieve your ambitions to:

  • study business-related subjects taught in English.

They show that you can use English confidently in international business environments.

Changes from January 2017

As part of our regular review of the assessment services we offer, we have decided to reduce the number of sessions for Cambridge English: Business Certificates (BEC) from 2017. We regularly monitor the number of entries for our exam sessions and continue to offer those dates which have proved most popular previously. Those dates that have had very little candidature in the past will no longer be offered from 2017. Cambridge English: Business Certificates (BEC) continues to serve the international business community and remains an important part of our offering.
