  The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) International Collaboration is pursuing an extensive R&D program towards a multi-TeV electron-positron collider. In particular, the development of two beam acceleration technology is the focus of the CLIC test facility CTF3. In this paper we summarize the most recent results obtained at CTF3: the results of the studies on the drive beam generation are presented, the achieved two beam acceleration performance is reported and the measured break-down rates and related observations are summarized. The stability of deceleration process performed over 13 subsequent modules and the comparison of the obtained results with the theoretical expectations are discussed. We also outline and discuss the future experimental program.
