Before you start, we assess your real level — a free placement test, then a conversation with us, online or by phone. We tell you honestly what your permit, your commune or the Fide certificate requires, and how many hours it will realistically take.
If you complete the programme and haven't reached that level, we continue teaching you free of charge, up to 20% of your programme hours. On a 25-hour Fast-Track, that's five more hours.
In over 25 students, nobody has needed them.
Three conditions.
- You attend your lessons.
- You give French one hour a day. Homework and writing, films, series, podcasts, YouTube — daily contact with the language. Lessons alone do not move anyone up a level. Nothing does that except the hour you put in between them.
- You speak French with people at least once a week. You don't need to find them — our live sessions are included, and you're expected to be in them.
One more thing: you sit the exam when we advise it, not before. We've seen people register early, fail, and lose a year.
One level is not fluency. A2 to B1 in two weeks means you'll handle the Fide interview with confidence. It doesn't mean debating politics at an apéro. We'd rather tell you that now than take your money.
