33 000 people registered for the Certificate in Business Language Competence between May 1994 and April 1996. In light of growing business communications with France, Germany and Japan a survey was conducted by the RSA on 355 of the largest 1000 companies (by sales turnover) in Britain. It found that 44% of organisations employed staff who could speak at least one of the three languages, but only 19% were able to deal with simple telephone enquiries.
