Benchmark your employees' English language skills
Register your employees for ACCA's new financial English qualification
07 Aug 2008
The International Certificate in Financial English (Cambridge ICFE) is a unique qualification that has been developed by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and ACCA. The exam is designed to assess the ability of candidates to understand spoken and written English in a number of realistic contexts that accountancy and finance professionals are likely to encounter in their daily working lives. As an employer, you can be confident that employees that have passed Cambridge ICFE will be capable of working in an international finance context as they will possess high levels of English language and understanding of the kind of language used in a demanding, fast-moving profession.
Cambridge ICFE can be used as a valuable recruitment tool in your business to help with the selection process and training of your people. It can also be used as a career development tool to fast-track individuals to management and as part of internal benchmarking and retention programmes. The qualification will also help ambitious employees demonstrate their suitability for a career in international finance.
The exam is available twice a year, in May and November. Visit the International Certificate in Financial English website
