Description
Exams are stressful.
One of the best ways to reduce this stress is to be well-prepared, knowing that you've put in all the necessary effort.
Your BEC Vantage exam comprises four equal parts, namely
reading
writing
listening
speaking
The exam is not cheap. You owe it to yourself to give yourself every chance to succeed and pass this important exam.
This online course will focus on each individual part of the BEC Vantage reading test and provide tips and methods for how to approach the parts and how to successfully complete the reading test. The examples used are actual exam questions.
You don't have a long time for the test and this course will show you where you can cut corners and where you absolutely have to take the time and read carefully. Knowing this will help you to use the time you have effectively, without wasting time or missing important instructions.
There is a Q&A section for each lesson so please feel free to ask anything that is unclear.
Also, if you take the exam and want to tell us how it went, what was difficult, what was easy, that would be very interesting. If you want to tell us about the good score you achieved, go ahead and brag a bit – you’ve earned it!

Instructor
I'm a native Brit and a qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher with Business English specialisation.
For the last 15 years, I've been teaching English courses in Germany.
In addition to teaching general and Business English to adults at all levels, I've also been teaching exam preparation classes for BEC Higher (C1) and BEC Vantage (B2). My students pass the exam.
This has the disadvantage of being geographically limiting. I'm really excited to be able to offer these courses online now and help many more people improve their English language skills and help them to pass these important exams.
Other subjects that I enjoy are music and technology.
