Izpit FCE lahko opravljate po končani stopnji B2. Udeleženci morajo pokazati, da znajo uporabljati angleški jezik za vsakdanje pisno in ustno sporazumevanje na delovnem mestu ali pri študiju (npr. branje preprostejših knjig in člankov, pisanje osebnih pisem in zapiskov med sestanki).

Izpit FCE se izvaja v klasični papirni obliki (Paper based - PB) ali prek računalnika (Computer based - CB), s čimer se je skrajni rok za prijavo na izpit močno približal datumu izpita, precej hitreje pa so na voljo tudi rezultati. Od prijave na izpit do objave rezultatov lahko tako mine samo 5 tednov!
