Placement Tests

Before you enroll in a class, we ask you to take a placement test to understand your strengths and needs. This is one of the many ways we will help make your language experience with us truly successful and enjoyable.

Tests are conveniently offered online.

We will first ask you to self-evaluate your skills, then you'll be directed to the appropriate test.

We are offering a free placement test for people who have had French, but have not completed the foundation of French (level A1 not completed).

We are offering an evaluation test for people who have reach any level above A1. This test is not free but reimbursed when registering to one of our group class.

French level A1 is completed when:

  • You can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and basic phrases aimed at satisfying basic needs.
  • You can introduce yourself and others; ask and answer questions about personal details such as where you live, talk about people you know and things you have.
  • You can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
