B2 First for Schools

We've changed the names of our exams to make it easier to understand how to progress from one qualification to the next.

These are just a few of the leading organisations that will accept your certificate:

B2 First for Schools, formerly known as Cambridge English: First for Schools, is one of our Cambridge English Qualifications. It gives students the confidence to use their English in the real world.

A B2 First for Schools qualification shows that a student has the language skills they need to communicate in an English-speaking environment.

It’s also a great way to prepare for higher-level exams such as C1 Advanced.

B2 First for Schools is targeted at the same CEFR level as B2 First but with content aimed at school-age learners rather than adults.

communicate effectively face to face, expressing opinions and presenting arguments
write clear, detailed English, expressing opinions and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of different points of view
