This exam exists since 1993 and is organized by an association of
prestigious French universities and "grandes écoles" (ENSAM, Dauphine,
ESCP-EAP, IEP, Sorbonne,...). The idea was to create a non-standardized
test which really proves the communication skills of the candidates. The
EAB is backed up by the International Chamber of Commerce, they call it
"Certificate of language proficiency in executive management". Moreover
there is a sponsorship committee of about 40 major companies. The
graduation ceremony takes place at the French Senate.
