Cambridge exams
The FCE (First Certificate of English)
Candidates who pass this exam obtain a certificate from Cambridge University ESOL Examinations which is recognised by universities and for employment purposes in most countries of the world. All candidates receive a summary of the results they achieved in each of the 5 parts of the exam.
FCE is administered by Cambridge ESOL – a department of Cambridge University in the UK. FCE is part of the Main Suite of Cambridge English examinations, which is directly related to the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework (CEF).
Who is the FCE for?
The FCE is suitable for those people whose level of English is adequate for daily situations including study and work. Candidates who pass the FCE possess a fairly wide vocabulary and should be capable of holding conversations and using an appropriate style according to the situation. They also need to demonstrate a knowledge of different register, politeness or formality to maintain a conversation.
Each year, some 270,000 candidates from 100 countries take the FCE. It is, without doubt, a valuable qualification for all types of work opening new career opportunities and for study both at home or in other countries. It is also a useful step in the preparation towards higher level exams such as the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English and the Certificate of Proficiency in English.

FCE is recognised by many universities and other educational institutions as a test that students possess an intermediate level of English. In many of these institutions this qualification is essential for entry on the courses which they offer.
