The Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE), is an Upper Intermediate exam which provides intensive instruction in speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar. FCE is ideal if you want to work or study abroad or to develop a career which requires language skills (e.g. business, medicine, engineering). FCE indicates sufficient proficiency in English to be of practical use in clerical, secretarial and managerial jobs in many industries, in particular tourism, where contact with English speakers is required.
Choose the FCE Preparation Course at APC to improve your English for these reasons, with a particular focus on the skills and strategies required to pass the FCE examination.
The Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) is an advanced level English exam aiming to be a practical and relevant advanced qualification relating to the world of work and social interaction rather than strictly for academic purposes. Many students sitting for the CAE have already successfully passed the First Certificate in English (FCE). Like the FCE, the CAE exam preparation also provides intensive instruction in the 5 skill areas of the exam; speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar.
Choose the CAE Preparation Course at APC if your English is at a pre-advanced standard that is adequate for most purposes, including social and professional situations. A positive result on this exam could also be useful in higher education in some situations.
