INTRODUCTION

Education Development International (EDI) is a leading international awarding body that was

formed through the merger of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Examinations

Board (LCCIEB) and a leading online assessment provider (GOAL). EDI now delivers LCCI

International qualifications (LCCI IQ) through a network of over 4000 registered centres in

more than 100 countries worldwide. Our range of business-related qualifications are trusted

and valued by employers worldwide and recognised by universities and professional bodies.

English for Business Level 4

This qualification is intended for candidates who have reached a standard of productive

English usage which will create an extremely good impression of their language skills. There

would be no need for close supervision and scrutiny of the English of a successful candidate

at this level. Linguistic and stylistic errors of all types will be rare.

This examination will test at a higher level the linguistic skills and business knowledge tested

at Level 3. The techniques for handling, displaying, interpreting, transferring and

reformulating information already introduced at the previous levels will be invoked for more

advanced tasks.

The level of this qualification is in line with Level 4 of the LCCI IQ Language Levels

Framework. Candidates would be expected to be at the Council of Europe’s Effective

Operational Proficiency Level (C1).

Please note that a UK accredited ESOL version of this examination is available as 'Certificate

in Written Business English, Level 2'.

Note: The equivalence shown above is specific to a pass grade at the respective EFB level.

A credit or distinction is considered to be equivalent of one Council of Europe Framework

(CEF) level higher than that of a pass (eg a level 4 credit / distinction = CEF C2).
