After a quick Google search, it's part of the Common European Frame of Reference for Languages and B2 is the fourth of six levels and seems to be moderately advanced.

Damn so they can discuss vague concept in English and we can't even read straightforward instructions in our own native language fuuuuuck

I'm sorry to double tap you like that, but don't you mean "abstract" instead?

Btw, because it's relevant, I'm not a native speaker but I did pass my Cambridge assessment B2 during high-school, I had good writing and listening but terrible speaking, I could read novels but I could barely say hello, and I needed subtitles for Youtube. Now I passed C2, I can mostly understand original Shakespeare but I struggle, and I can have technical conversations in my domain (went working abroad). To give you a rough idea of European level (and France is considered very bad in English for European standards)

PS: feel free to correct any mistake I made, that'd be more than fair game.

You added an 'e' after "domain"
