Cambridge English B2 First (FCE) Exam
The Cambridge B2 First exam (formally known as the FCE exam) is a test of your general English language skills in all areas. It assesses your use of English, and your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The B2 First (FCE) is an upper-intermediate qualification in your language learning journey between B1 Preliminary and C1 Advanced. It demonstrates that you have the necessary language skills to live and work independently in an English-speaking country or study on undergraduate courses taught in non-English speaking countries. Here at our Rathmines Exam Centre (Dublin 6) you can take the test in the paper-based format.
