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.

Kundeudtalelser
Tidligere kunder fortæller
Det har været en fornøjelse at følge dette kursus. Indholdet var perfekt til vores behov, og undervisningen var meget levende og lærerig. Kunne ikke ha' ønsket mig et bedre forløb eller en bedre lærer. Kæmpe anbefaling til alle andre herfra.
Cadesign
Det har været den bedste lærer, jeg overhovedet kunne få. Hun har en særlig evne til at nå og forstå mig. Hun har lagt et super program for mig fra starten, der løbende udfordre mit niveau og samtidig opbygger min selvtillid. Det at blive bedre til et sprog de fleste mestrer let er en rejse. Jeg er så glad for, at det netop er hende, der har været min tro støtte på den rejse. Hun har den rette balance i at udfordre og bakke op.
De 40 timer var det helt rigtige for mig, og nu skal jeg videreføre alt det gode underviseren har lært mig.
GLS
En virkelig god oplevelse og hvor niveauet blev tilpasset mig og mine behov. Kan absolut anbefale dette kursus og ikke mindst underviseren. Tak for denne gang og for at hjælpe mig med at blive klædt på til lige præcist de opgaver jeg stod overfor.
I det hele taget et meget professionelt forløb fra jeg tog første kontakt og gennem undervisningsforløbet.
OUH
Underviseren er super. Hun er ærlig og direkte på en motiverende facon.
Alt undervisning er tilrettelagt efter mine ønsker og behov, hvilket gør det nemt at planlægge sideløbende med mit arbejde.
