BEC (Business English Certificates)

FORCEM Funding

All companies in Spain and individuals working for companies are entitled to receive FORCEM funding from the European Union for language training. This funding may cover part or even all of the total cost of the training. IH Company Training can arrange these funds for you and we will manage the necessary paperwork.

Linked to the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of References for Languages, the Cambridge BEC exams are the point of reference if you want an internationally recognised business qualification that shows you can speak English to an appropriate standard and use it in a professional context.

Cambridge ESOL exams (English for Speakers of Other Languages) are the leading range of certificates for learners of English. Each year they are taken by over 2 million people, in 130 countries. They can help you gain entrance to a university or college, improve your job prospects and measure your progress in English.
