Spoken English Test for Business - International (No. 8981 )
English is the language of today’s global business world, and speaking is the skill that is most in demand. On the phone, in meetings, with colleagues, with clients: the ability to speak confidently and persuasively can be crucial. The City & Guilds Spoken English Test for Business (SET-B) assesses the ability to speak English in realistic business situations. Testing is by one to one structured interview with a member of the centre staff. This person – the Interlocutor – doesn’t rate the candidate's performance, they just manage the interview and act as a conversation partner. The test is recorded on audio cassette and sent to City & Guilds where it is marked by trained examiners. We offer the test on demand so that your learners can take it when they are ready. Stages and levels There are six levels linked to the Common European Framework. The test is available in three versions: Stage A, Stage B and Stage C. Each Stage covers two levels.
