Placement Test

If you have undertaken any kind of French study (formal or informal) or in-country experience in the past, you are required to sit a placement test prior to enrolling to a course. The placement test is free of charge and is a way for us to better understand your strengths and needs, so as to recommend the course best adapted to your current level. This is one of the many ways we will help make your language learning experience with us truly successful and enjoyable.
