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/general-english/fce.html)
