LanguageCert ESOL B2 Communicator · Put your knowledge to work in context.
LanguageCert International ESOL B2 Communicator is an English language qualification at CEFR level B2, the level at which a learner can understand the main ideas of complex text, interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity, and produce clear, detailed writing on a wide range of subjects. It is designed for adults and older learners who need independent proof of upper-intermediate English for work, study, or personal progression, and it is part of the wider LanguageCert ESOL suite that also includes levels below and above B2. Because this page is about the exam rather than its awarding body, treat it as an independent study guide. LanguageCert is regulated by Ofqual and Qualification Wales, and its exams are delivered both at test centres and online with remote, live invigilation, so candidates can sit from a preferred location. The LanguageCert ESOL B2 Communicator case studies are 5 cases and about 2,061 words.
