They are often used on resumes to show prospective employers your level of English, and are internationally recognised.
The Cambridge ESOL courses will prepare you for the exam, while at the same time improving your English to the required level. Courses are ten weeks long and take place at fixed dates in the year. The exams can be taken in March, June and November at one of the local test centres. Please note, you must be intermediate level to join the FCE class and upper-intermediate to join the CAE class.
