BEC证书怎么样?有什么用?适合那些人?

发布时间:2019-07-14


有不少人在考过了四六级后,犹豫要不要考BEC。调查大家是出于什么原因考BEC,得到的回答也是各种各样:

”我想证明自己的英语水平“。“考了再说吧,周围的同学都在考。”“不知道啊,可能对以后求职有用吧!证书看起来挺高大上的。”

又有一些同学报名前不知道该报考哪个级别,今天小编就来科普下BEC证书。

1、哪些人适合考BEC

选择是否要考一个证书,要考虑自己职业发展方向以及该证书的用途。

BEC主要用于外企求职,适用对象如下:

  毕业之后有志于进入500强,特别是欧美企业;

  一二线城市白领跳槽/晋升(对英语有明确要求)

  学习英语、商科或外贸等专业,毕业后打算去外企

  英语水平不错,口语较强的英语学习者

  想要提升个人职场竞争力

证书用途:

毕业找工作的时候很多企业看到你有BEC证书会给你英语免试的。

然后,还有一些国企外企对持有BEC证书的员工会发奖金,或者每个月工资多算点钱。

小编不建议盲目跟风考证,毕竟报名费还是不菲的~ 明确目的和用途以后,接着来了解BEC考试。

2BEC考试地位

剑桥商务英语考试(Business English Certificate,简称BEC)由剑桥大学外语考试中心ESOL(雅思就是他家出品)研发举办,是最早(1993年)进入中国的商务英语考试。

几十年来,BEC考试体系已经比较成熟,被欧洲乃至全球众多教育机构、企业认可,素有外企通行证外企绿卡的美誉。

3BEC考试内容

四六级考试主要考查在校大学生的实际英语能力,而BEC考试则注重考察考生在真实工作环境中的英语交流能力。

考试由阅读、写作、听力和口语四个部分组成,试题中词汇、文章类型以及情景设置都与商务英语相关。

在积极备考BEC考试的过程中,考生可以全方位提升自身商务英语技能,为走上职场奠定专业基础。例如:商业英文文书撰写、商业英文文件阅读、职场小组讨论等。(from BEC官网)

4BEC考试难度

BEC分为BEC PreliminaryBEC初级), BEC VantageBEC中级)和BEC HigherBEC高级)由低至高三个级别。

如果你对雅思成绩没有概念,有个公式对比了大学生英语考试和BEC的难度:

CET4约等于BEC初<CET6 BEC中<TEM4(英语专四)<BEC高<TEM8(英语专八)(仅供参考)

更细的比较,详见下表:

 

BEC中级和六级到底哪个难,这个要看个人考试备考充分程度。

有考完六级的同学去考BEC中级,觉得BEC中级难。但有人倒觉得六级难。

5BEC考试考试知名度/含金量

对于在校大学生来说,四六级当然是校招/四大/公务员等招聘筛选简历的首选考试(认知面最广),而且分数越高越占优势。

如果你对含金量的定义是入职门槛,那么对于千万学子来说,四六级当仁不让。但对于职场白领,以及想进500强的大三大四的学生来说,业内有这么一个公式:

雅思托福>BEC>托业(认可度/含金量)

小编要补充说明的是:雅思托福主要是申请出国留学用的,也有少数单位招聘要求托福雅思成绩。是少数哦。

雅思托福报名费动辄一两千,从性价比来看,求职外企推荐BEC证书(职场精英晋升实力证明)。出国党、学霸和刚需请随意。

附上往年BEC考试报名费用→ BEC初级465元,BEC中级580元;BEC高级725元(每年报考有变动,以官网发布为准)

6、适合报考哪个级别?

小编翻阅了大量过来人的经验,有一条看似扎心但实际很有用的结论:

BEC初级价值不大,相当于四级以下水平,不建议考;

BEC中级略显鸡肋,和其他考试尤其是六级和专四或者中高级口译证书来比,没有太大的竞争力。可以当做跳板过渡,介于四级和六级之间。

要考就考最高级别的——BEC-H最高级的证书肯定是最有价值的

建议大学英语过了6级的直接报考高级

据考过的小伙伴们反馈,如果你的工作语言是英语或者会涉及到英文内容,BEC高级会对你有很大帮助。

不仅在整个备考过程会学到很多东西,高级证书拿到手后,日后职场会持续受益,比如get到一些商科知识架构,写出的商务信函、汇报言辞和格式基本是模板啊。

英语能力提升首选~而且BEC证书,一旦考取,成绩终身有效,从这种一劳永逸来看,性价比又比雅思托福高出不知多少倍。

7、备考建议

BEC是一门综合性比较高的考试,听说读写四项能力都有考查。小编想要提醒大家两点:

第一,口语很重要,外企面试是一定会用到口语。BEC考的口语比四六级口试难上许多,但考察点比较全面,对英语能力的实际提升很有帮助。就国内英语学习环境看,口语始终是短板。

如果你的英语在大学四级水平,且口语不是很好/薄弱,只是想拿一个证,可以考虑报考中级。而打算报考高级(尤其是目标是Grade A)的同学,口语很重要!考前1个月每天至少练一个小时口语吧。和小伙伴一起练哦~

第二,中级和高级最大的区别在听力难度上,备考一定要注重听力能力的训练和提升。

8、有没有必要报班学习?

报班的作用是扫盲——熟悉题型,跟老师学习考试技巧,对于没地儿练口语,考前心情紧张的人来说,报班给你一个跟学伴练口语的机会(口语有个taskdiscussion

如果你已经知道题型且水平不错,有一套行之有效的学习方法,且有较强的执行力,主要就是靠自学了。

懒癌+不差钱的可以报个班学学,但决定你过不过的还是你自己课后下的功夫。
