Due to a shortage of qualified UK veterinary surgeons, Eville and Jones, Britain’s leading supplier of veterinary hygiene specialists to the Meat Hygiene Service, recruit many of their staff from overseas. Experience has shown that, while they may boast an impressive array of professional qualifications, these vets needed to prove their competence in Spoken English.
Since 1995 Eville and Jones have been using LCCI’s Spoken English for Industry and Commerce (SEFIC) examination at Fourth Level to demonstrate that their vets can use English to communicate at the highest level. Eville and Jones’ Human Resource Executive Duncan Garfield explains: "We chose LCCI’s SEFIC qualification because it contributed to the achievement of our business objectives to provide professional, qualified veterinary staff with excellent business English communication skills. The SEFIC examinations are flexible to organise and, because of the speedy certification, our staff can confirm they are fluent shortly after having taken the exam."
