It offers an upper-intermediate language qualification for people wishing to work or study in an English speaking country or organisation or to cope easily as a tourist in an English speaking country. FCE is the most widely taken exam and has the most widespread recognition. It is taken for employment and study purposes and it usually requires 500 – 600 hours of learning.

FCE for Schools

The First Certificate in English for Schools is a version of the well-known FCE exam. It follows exactly the same format as FCE and is designed for school-age learners, offering an upper-intermediate language qualification for those who want to study in an English speaking country.
