Course Structure

The First Certificate in English (FCE) is an Advanced course which aims to prepare students for the internationally recognised Cambridge examinations. It provides the necessary foundation skills for students to build confidence and accuracy in English prior to sitting the examination.

Many students enrol in our ELICOS program before entering the FCE course to ensure their English language is adequate. Carrick's teachers prepare students for the examinations, which are held three times each year. It is optional for students to sit the test, which costs approximately $345.

Materials

Students are guided through the use of a class texts and the extensive use of materials. It is required that all English language students purchase the prescribed textbook.
