The Business SET is a new certificate developed specifically for candidates who need to use spoken English in the workplace. It is ideal if you work in an English speaking country or for a multinational organisational which uses English for internal communications.
Structure
The exam covers six levels which correspond to the six levels of the Common European Framework (A1 to C2). The test is available in three versions, each covering a band of two levels. The test takes up to 15 minutes. It is in four parts, designed to let you show how well you can speak English in a range of business related situations:
- Giving personal information
- Interacting in common business
- Exchanging given information to standard prompts
- Presenting a chosen topic related to current news
Results
The Business SET is conducted as a one-to-one structured conversation with an interlocutor appointed by the centre where you take the test. At each level a candidate can be awarded a fail grade, pass grade or distinction.
