Level assessment

Students with some knowledge of French should take the online test on our website before taking an oral placement test to enable us to find an appropriate class. This test will take 10-15 minutes and is free of charge and obligation. Class levels are based on the 6 stages outlined by the common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At the end of each level, students can sit an official exam recognized by the French Government (see Examinations). Please call us to arrange an appointment on 9386 7921.
