Business English Certificate (BEC Preliminary)
Requirements and Course Materials
The BEC Preliminary exam requires an English language ability at Level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This corresponds to the Cambridge ESOL level of pre-intermediate general English achieved by the Preliminary English Test (PET).
Candidates do not need to have passed the PET; they just need to demonstrate an existing, equivalent English language ability.
