Advantages of the Diploma Program

In addition to the academic curriculum, this course includes a session specifically dedicated to the preparation of the DELF B2 or DALF C1 exam (depending on the student’s level). This session of ten 45-minute lessons, i.e. a total of 7.5 hours, consists of 2 sessions of 5 lessons, each scheduled two or three weeks before the official dates of the exams. The school sends the students DELF/DALF registration but the cost of the exam is in addition to the cost of the training (allowing students to take the exam outside of Paris if they prefer).

Advantages of the Certification Program

This program includes a sitting for the TCF (Test de Connaissance de Français) exam at the end of the program in our exam center. Students receive an official certification with their results from FEI (France Education Internaional), part of the Ministry of National Education.
