You get by in most situations, but as soon as it becomes more formal you battle with grasping the full message. Research shows that training to reach this level takes between 160-260 hours when not in an English environment.

B2 level is...

....feeling comfortable speaking and writing English with few mistakes. In general, it is considered the management level but expressions and a high level of formality are still problematic in particular when dealing with native speakers. Research shows that when not in an English environment training to master this level takes between 200-300 hours.

C1 level is...

....a level to aspire when you run an international operation and often have dealings with native speakers. Native speakers will consider you equal and you build trust during any form of communication, because you fully grasp their meaning and are able to participate in jokes and puns. Training for this level outside an English environment takes between 300-400 hours.

C2 level is...

...measurable in different ways: by means of an entry test to determine your starting level for a training, or through a 4-skill test which determines your actual level. Both are online but an entry test is done within the hour and is priced under ten euros and the full-skill based test takes more than 5 hours and is priced around fifty euros.
