Hello everyone!

I'm a newbie when it comes to teaching in general.
I've just been informed that I'm going to teach a group of students at B2 level who are considering taking one of the exams mentioned in the title - TELC B2 or FCE.

I've gone through several FCE books, however, I couldn't really find much about the TELC exam.

Could anyone kindly tell me the difference in terms of Writing?
While FCE books give clear outline on what to include, Telc materials (taken from their websites) do not provide any sample writings so..
I know that in TELC there is a letter of complaint, letter of enquiry and letter of application.
Should those letters include addresses and dates? If yes, where exactly should they be written? Sender: top right corner? Recipient: Above Dear Sir/Madame?

Please help me. I'd really appreciate any tips.

I haven't taught TELC, but the instructions indicate that they want it laid out exactly like a real letter, so I would start with the address in the top right.

Thanks Tdol!
That's what I figured, but sometimes exams have their own rules that's why I'm asking.
