For the past 8 years, we have been preparing groups of teenage students for the following Cambridge ESOL examinations:

Level 3: Cambridge English: First (FCE) (CEFR level B2: vantage).

Cambridge English: First,
also known as the First Certificate in English (FCE), is an English language examination provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment. It is an upper-intermediate, international English language qualification that focuses on Level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The certificate also contains the UK National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level. The candidate’s overall score is averaged from the individual scores for each skill (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and for Use of English.

The following scores are used to report results:
