Participants are required to know a range of general business vocabulary and to show that they can operate in typical business situations, eg take telephone messages, read work-related documents and write letters. Cambridge BEC is for a broad range of people within commercial and administrative organisations who need to use English in their everyday work. It is designed for people at all levels in an organisation - staff, clerical and management levels. Each written examination lasts between 100 and 140 minutes and assesses the skills of reading, writing and listening. There is also a short oral examination to test speaking skills.
Examinations take place six times a year.
