B2 is the Most Demanded Level Worldwide

According to TrackTest data and international job market analysis, B2 (Upper-Intermediate) is the most required level when employers ask for "active command of the English language." It is also the usual requirement for admission to international high school programmes (IB) and for entering universities globally. If you're aiming for professional growth, B2 is your target.
