FCE

First Certificate in English

FCE is an exam for people who can use everyday written and spoken English at an upper-intermediate level. It is an ideal exam for people who want to use English for work or study purposes.

Is FCE for you?

Can you...

• understand texts from a wide variety of sources?
• use English to make notes while someone is speaking in English?
• talk to people about a wide variety of topics?
• understand people talking in English on radio or television programmes?

If this describes your skills now, or describes the level of skills you are working towards, then FCE is the right exam for you.

What will FCE do for you?

There are many benefits to taking KET:

• a KET certificate is valid for life. You will not need to take the exam again
• KET is a truly international certificate for business and study purposes
• thousands of employers, universities and government departments officially recognise KET as a basic qualification in English
• although KET is a basic exam, it offers a chance to find out your strengths and weaknesses in using English, and gives you a pathway to higher qualifications such as the Preliminary English Test (PET) and First Certificate in English (FCE)
