Q&A:

4. How much should I pay for the course?

Definitely Free! ¬.¬

3. Can I pass the BEC exam after I take the course?

The course is basically designed for learners who are interested in study business English and who would like to use English in their career. It is much more emphasized on PRACTICAL USE of ENGLISH rather than the exam (the final assessment of this course is also based on assessing learners’ use of English in business issues). So I cannot guarantee that you would definitely pass the exam after study but I am sure that you would benefit a lot from this course:)
