Cambridge B2 First Exam Preparation Course

Formerly known as the Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE)

The B2 First exam is a test of general English language ability run by Cambridge ESOL. As with other Cambridge exams such as the C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency, the qualification is widely recognised in European countries by employers, and increasingly recognised in Asia and South America. It is not intended as a test that measures English ability for entry to English-speaking universities and other institutions, but a pass in one of the Cambridge exams is often accepted as evidence of English-language ability for this purpose. We offer full-time preparation courses for B2 First from January, March and September.
