Course description

The BEC Vantage is a Cambridge International examination which tests English language ability used

in the context of business.

The exam tests reading, writing, listening and speaking ability and a single, overall grade is awarded,

based on the aggregate of marks gained in the four components. There are no pass/fail marks for

individual papers, so you do not need to reach a particular level in any component in order to achieve

a pass in the examination.

Recognition of BEC is increasing rapidly as a growing number of companies are using the examination

as a focus for in-company training courses. A list of companies that use the BEC examinations for a

variety of purposes including recruitment can be found on the Cambridge ESOL website. Many

universities in the United Kingdom recognise BEC Higher as a suitable entry requirement for

international students to business-related and other courses of study.

Who is the course for?

The BEC Vantage and Higher exams are suitable for economists, accountants, managers, business

administrators and university students preparing for a career in business. The level of the Vantage

exam is equivalent to the Cambridge FCE and the Higher exam to the Cambridge CAE.
