Examinations at the C1 level may be used as proof of language necessary to work in an international context or to follow a course of study related to finance at university level.

The ICFE is a high-level language qualification developed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).

TKT is divided into separate modules. You can take them all, or just choose the ones that meet your needs. You have total flexibility in how and when you take the modules and receive a certificate for each one completed.
