BEC - Business English Certificate Course
BEC exams can be taken by all, where English is not their native language. BEC is published by Cambridge English. The tests have four sections - reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Who is the BEC for?
The BEC Tests are for individuals. They are very useful preparation for a person studying on a business course.
Computer or Paper tests?
There are computer and paper versions of the test. Some centres will only offer one version.
Do I need to have business experience to take the BEC tests?
No, BEC tests your English in a business setting but you do not need to know specialised business vocabulary or concepts.
Recognition of the BEC has been growing rapidly as an increasing number of companies use this exam as part of the training of their staff. Many universities in the United Kingdom recognize BEC Higher as an appropriate access for international students to business-related and other study courses.

Kundeudtalelser

Må sige mit lærer er en rigtig god underviser der forstår at planlække undervisningen så
den passede til mig, vil til en hver tid anbefale og anvende ham i en ny undervisning
Privat
Jeg er rigtig tilfreds med mit engelsk kursus hos International Communication A/S, som
var eneundervisning. Fra start til slut var der god dialog fra hovedkontor og der blev
nøje udvalgt den rette underviser til mig, som var et perfekt match.
Privat
Min underviser har virkelig været en fremragende underviser. Niveauet blev fundet
øjeblikkeligt og undervisningen har været inspirerende og interessant. Jeg er blevet
udfordret og har nydt hver eneste time. Det eneste jeg er ked af, er at det er slut.
Privat
Et særdeles godt kursusforløb, som ikke alene har hjulpet mig sprogligt men også
personligt og som jeg kun kan give mine bedste anbefalinger. Takket være en super dygtig
og ikke mindst utrolig sød og behagelige underviser, som har formået at tilpasse
undervisningen efter mine behov, føler jeg mig i dag langt mere sikker og jeg vil i
flere henseender få rigtig stor glæde heraf fremover. Herudover føler jeg mig også langt
mere bevidst om mine problematikker og ved, hvor jeg skal sætte ind og forbedre mig.
