The challenge: Replacing the phased-out BEC
“Since Cambridge Business English is no longer offered, we were looking for a suitable alternative. Linguaskill turned out to be the ideal solution for us.” — Oliver Suter, Talent-Campus Bodensee, SportKV
The discontinuation of BEC created a gap for vocational schools needing a reliable, modern Business English certification.
Talent-Campus Bodensee sought a solution that was CEFR-aligned, business-related, and practical for students — one that reflected real-world communication skills and offered a globally recognised certificate.
Why Cambridge Linguaskill Business was the right fit
“Linguaskill meets our demands and with the support of Swiss Exams we are able to integrate this solution effectively and benefit from its advantages. So, the preparation for the exam can take place during normal school time, within the existing timetable.” — Oliver Suter, Talent-Campus Bodensee, SportKV
The Linguaskill Business English exam is a fully digital exam that assesses all four key language skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — and delivers results within just 3 to 5 working days.
The test is CEFR-aligned, offers certification up to C2 level, and provides every student with a recognised certificate, regardless of their level. Trusted by employers and universities worldwide, it gives learners a competitive edge while supporting real-world business communication.
Thanks to its smart, adaptive format and advanced security, the testing experience is both reliable and personalised. Flexible and easy to set up, Linguaskill can be integrated directly into the school timetable.
A message to other schools in Switzerland
“If you're looking for a modern, flexible way to prepare students for a Business English certificate, Linguaskill is exactly the right choice.” — Oliver Suter, Talent-Campus Bodensee, SportKV
