Exam Preparation
We offer targeted programs to succeed on three benchmark exams, in two formats: intensive afternoons or weekly evenings, from A2 to B2, in small groups with mock exams and help with registration.
The three exams, in a nutshell
-
DELF (A2–B2) — Official lifetime diploma, recognized for study and employment; structured assessment of the 4 skills.
-
TCF — Fast level certificate, scored by modules depending on your goal (study, work, official procedures); ideal when you need quick proof.
-
DCL — Professional diploma focused on workplace tasks (documents, briefs, interactions); highlights operationalFrench.
How should I choose?
Start from your goal (permanent diploma, fast score, professional use), then choose the format (afternoon vs evening). We’ll check your starting level and build a tailored study plan.
