How will FCE benefit you?
“Cambridge ESOL is a department of the world-famous and historic University of Cambridge. Attaining one of its certificates is an achievement and a reward in itself. However, there are many other benefits to taking FCE:
- an FCE certificate is valid for life.
- FCE is truly international, recognised around the world for business and study purposes.
- thousands of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise FCE as a qualification in upper-intermediate English.
- FCE gives you a pathway to higher qualifications such as the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).” http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/fce/index.html#tab2
