This course focuses on developing essential reading, speaking, listening, and writing skills required in today’s global workplace, alongside important business vocabulary and grammar. Additionally, it serves as the most comprehensive preparation material available for the Cambridge English: Business Preliminary exam, also known as the Business English Certificate (BEC) Preliminary, and is officially endorsed as an exam preparation course by Cambridge ESOL.

An Exam Skills and Exam Practice section that provides students with detailed guidance on how to approach each exam task, the skills required, and what the exam task is assessing, along with exercises to build up students’ exam skills. This section includes a complete past Cambridge English: Business Preliminary exam with answers provided by Cambridge ESOL.
