(CRICOS CODE 021672G)
The First Certificate in English is an upper-intermediate level exam. It is ideal for students who need to be able to communicate confidently in English in most situations. FCE is one of the most widely recognised English language qualifications by employers and educational institutions around the world.
By the end of the course students will be able to communicate successfully in day to day situations.
The FCE exam comprises 5 parts:
Paper 1 – Reading
Paper 2 – Writing
Paper 3 – Use of English (Grammar)
Paper 4 – Listening
Paper 5 – Speaking
Students wishing to take the Shafston FCE preparation program must firstly undertake a Cambridge pre-entry test which will indicate a student’s current level of proficiency. We can do this either prior to the student’s arrival (via fax) and/or on their first day.
