About the Exams
First Certificate in English (FCE) – Upper Intermediate
The course prepares students for the most popular of all the Cambridge examinations. Students are able to use a wide range of vocabulary in a variety of social and work situations. The examination consists of 5 papers: Reading, Writing, Use of English, Listening and Speaking.
Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) – Advanced
This course is for students who are able to use English fluently. Preparation for this very practical exam features: many realistic writing tasks such as business letters, leaflets and brochures; vocabulary building through authentic reading; and emphasis on speaking and listening.

Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) – Approaching native speaker level
This course is for students who would like to enter university or another place of higher learning. It is an academic examination for people who have a wide vocabulary, enjoy literature and a range of other reading material, and can talk fluently on any topic.
