Description

FCE Listening | B2 First Certificate Cambridge English Exam

Do you want to have a B2 English certificate?

Do you want to get into an English speaking university?

Do you want to improve your job prospects?

This course is designed to help you prepare yourself for the Cambridge English First (FCE) B2 level English exam. This is a globally recognised language exam – accepted by lots of education and work institutions around the world!

In this course I give you all the best tips, techniques and resources to effectively prepare yourself for the Listening paper of the exam. I go through each part of this paper giving you the best advice on how to answer the questions, so hopefully it won't be necessary for you to spend lots of extra money on lessons.

There is no other course that I have found which focuses on and instructs you how to pass each section of this exam, using exam samples for practice exercises. This course allows you to concentrate specifically on what you need to do in order to pass the Listening paper. 

The course comprises several video lessons with lots of useful information, tips and practice exercises. Homework exercises are also given at the end of most lessons.

Who this course is for:

  • Lower intermediate (A2-B1) level English students who would like to get into university.
  • Lower intermediate (A2-B1) level English students who would like to get better jobs
  • Lower intermediate (A2-B1) level English students who would like to have more job opportunities
