EBC*L is a certification system that defines core business competences within an internationally standardized catalogue of learning objectives. EBC*L makes this knowledge verifiable with an internationally standardized exam. In just 6 years, EBC*L was able to establish itself in 33 countries and even beyond European borders. The EBC*L exam can be passed in 24 languages including Arabic and more than 30,000 graduates have already acquired an EBC*L certificate. To acquire the necessary knowledge to pass this challenging exam in a short period of time, material and teaching concepts, based on the most modern psychological teaching insights, have been developed. These also include eLearning and blended learning concepts. The EBC*L initiative is active in 33 countries, on four continents and covers a network of over 550 training and examination centers in different types of educational facilities (schools, universities, centers of higher education). The international headquarters of EBC*L, situated in Vienna, Austria, is responsible for international dissemination, quality control and further development of the EBC*L system (www.ebcl.eu). The Council Business Competence for Europe (KWE) in Paderborn, Germany, is the advisory council for supporting and developing the content of the specialized syllabus and assures its quality.
