Cambridge English: Business Vantage

Success story – Cambridge English: Business Vantage

“BEC has helped develop cross-cultural communication skills and overall development of the students. It has had an impact on confidence levels through international certification.”

Laura Cirello
Head of Learning and Development, JP Morgan Treasury and Security Services

Cambridge English: Business Vantage enables you to:

Achieve your ambitions in international business

Cambridge English: Business Vantage is an upper-intermediate level qualification in Business English. Passing it proves to employers that you are ready for international success.

Gain language skills for real-life business situations

Cambridge English: Business Vantage is set at Level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This is the level of English required for professional and academic settings at an intermediate standard. Reaching this level shows employers you can:

  • write short pieces of business correspondence, reports or proposals
  • read extracts from business publications
  • listen to, understand and contribute to discussions in meetings.

The content of Cambridge English: Business Vantage reflects everyday work and business tasks. By preparing for this exam, you gain skills that will be valued by employers.

Improve your employment and career prospects

Proving your Business English abilities can open the door to career opportunities with a new employer, or help you achieve a promotion or develop your career.

Show clear evidence of your language ability

Employers value and rely on Cambridge English: Business Vantage because it is a thorough test of all four language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) in a business context.

  • Detailed research and analysis ensures all our exams are accurate, relevant and fair to the people that take them.
  • Our exams are developed using systems and processes meeting the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2008 quality management standard.
