SEFIC EXAMINATION FORMAT - THIRD LEVEL
Candidates will be assessed by means of a 35-minute, one-to-one interview with an LCCIEB SEFIC examiner. The interview will consist of 5 sections:
Section A (5 minutes) will be an introductory conversation, focusing on work-related topics. The candidate will be expected to demonstrate a cohesiveness in language production whereby sentences and utterances build upon each other and flow more easily from construct to construct.
Section B (5 minutes) will be a comprehension exercise based on an item of work-related information or realia. The candidate will be asked to study this briefly and then answer questions. The purpose of this section is to introduce the business scenario and test comprehension of key vocabulary.
Section C (10 minutes) will be a listening comprehension task. The candidate will listen to a taped dialogue (which follows on from the business scenario established in Section B) and take notes. After hearing the tape once the candidate will be asked to relate the main points of the dialogue and to suggest remedies or predict outcomes for the situation outlined in the dialogue.
Section D (10 minutes) will be a reading comprehension task. The candidate will study a business letter or report (which further develops the business scenario established in sections B and C) and then briefly relay the contents and explained certain expressions selected by the examiner.
Section E (5 minutes) will be a role play emanating from the preceding sections. The role assigned, which will be outlined on a cue card supplied by the Board, will require the candidate to participate in the discussion and negotiation of a familiar business ‘problem’.
SEFIC EXAMINATION FORMAT - FOURTH LEVEL
Candidates will be assessed by means of a 40-minute, one-to-one interview with an LCCIEB SEFIC examiner. The interview will consist of four sections:
SECTION A (5 minutes) will be an introductory conversation encompassing a variety of business-related topics (including one of current interest) enabling the candidate to demonstrate a wide range of vocabulary and expressions in both familiar and unfamiliar topic areas. The candidate’s special topic will be excluded.
SECTION B (15 minutes - of which the discussion will be a minimum of 5 minutes) will be a business presentation on the candidate’s prepared topic. At the start of this section the candidate will provide the examiner with a written synopsis (about 200 words), using bullet points or headings and double spacing. The examiner will ask follow-up questions leading into the discussion phase where the candidate will be expected to respond fully to a wide range of questions, providing examples and clarification as appropriate.
SECTION C (10 minutes) will be a listening comprehension task. The candidate will listen to a taped dialogue (played once), take notes and then relay the main points of the dialogue to the examiner. Afterwards the candidate will be required to discuss and suggest a solution to the (problematic) situation outlined by the speakers in the dialogue.
SECTION D (10 minutes) will be a reading comprehension task. The candidate will be asked to study 2 or more sources of information (ie a report plus a graph or chart) supplied by the Board. Questions will be posed by the examiner to assess the candidate’s comprehension and powers of deduction. The topic area covered will be different from Section C.
