ICFE (International Certificate in Financial English) is an examination set at levels B2 and C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. ICFE is equivalent in level to the world famous Cambridge First Certificate in English and Certificate in Advanced English, and assesses language skills in a financial context. This certificate can be used as proof of the ability in English necessary to work in an international finance context or to follow a course of accountancy or finance study at university level.
ICFE has been developed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations in collaboration with ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). The combination has brought together worldwide leaders in English language assessment and in professional accountancy to create a unique financial English qualification. Both organisations share an outstanding reputation for quality and delivery, supported by global networks. As a result, candidates, employers and financial markets can be sure that Cambridge ICFE has been developed by organisations committed to excellence and relevance internationally.
