Q: Anyone here who can share their experience of getting a BCT (Business Chinese Test) certification?

BCT and HSK are two certifications for foreigners in China conducted by the Hanban institute, for Mandarin proficiency. HSK is for students who want to study in China, the medium of instruction being Chinese. BCT is more suited for a working environment.

I am presently preparing for the BCT as I intend to seek employment in China and if any members here have some suggestions and tips specifically for BCT certification, I'd really appreciate your inputs.

BCT is still relatively new and not as well recognised.  I haven't taken it myself but some of my classmates did. HSK is not for students who want to study in China, its a Chinese proficiency test.  

As far as I know BCT is more business orientated, but like I said, not well recognised.  No company will ask if you have a BCT, some might ask if you have HSK though.  Seen as though you're already preparing for it, it won't do any harm having it, but certainly consider doing the HSK.  If you're just taking it because you think companies will look favourably on it, you're mistaken.  Most companies don't even know what HSK is.  If you're doing it to improve your business Chinese, then there's really no point.  You might learn some more specific terms, but  you might as well just save your money, keep studying, and get a HSK in the future.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
