FCE exams

[Outta_Breathe1020]

The Cambridge First Certificate in English examination, or FCE for short, is a qualification in English as a Foreign Language awarded by Cambridge ESOL. The current version of the exam was recently introduced for December 2008 and is sometimes referred to as the 'revised FCE'. It is a popular exam with over 250,000 candidates per year.
FCE is one of five 'Main Suite' examinations offered by Cambridge ESOL. The level of FCE is described as Intermediate. The table below shows how FCE fits into the Cambridge ESOL framework:



Because FCE is internationally recognised, people choose to take the exam for work purposes, study purposes or just for their own interest.
