The FCE, or First Certificate in English, is an English language examination provided by Cambridge Assessment English. It is designed to assess the language skills of non-native speakers at an upper-intermediate level, typically corresponding to the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The FCE evaluates four key areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Passing the exam demonstrates a solid command of English, making it a valuable qualification for academic and professional opportunities. Many institutions and employers recognize the FCE as proof of English proficiency.
