First Certificate Teaching Resource

Over the last three years, Cambridge ESOL has carried out a thorough review of the FCE and CAE examinations, to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of users. This review has led to changes to the FCE and CAE test specifications.

We are currently redeveloping this website to take account of these changes.

In the meantime, bulletins detailing this review process and providing a summary of the FCE test specifications to be introduced from December 2008 are available to download at: http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/fce.htm

The new handbook and sample papers are available to download at: http://www.cambridgeesol.org/resources/teacher/fce.html
