Cambridge English Business Certificates (B1 Business Preliminary, B2 Business Vantage, C1 Business Higher)
The Cambridge English Business Certificates show that you can use English confidently at work: in meetings, emails, reports and presentations. There are three levels on the Common European Framework of Reference: B1 Business Preliminary for practical everyday business English, B2 Business Vantage for working independently in an international setting, and C1 Business Higher for demanding professional communication. Employers and universities recognise them as evidence of real workplace English.
Each exam tests reading, writing, listening and speaking through business tasks rather than general topics. Our preparation courses are set at each level and build the vocabulary, grammar and skills the exam expects, with plenty of practice in business writing and speaking with a partner, and full timed practice papers before the real exam.
