Group classes are limited to a maximum of 12 people, to give everyone more time to speak and encourage conversation and exchange.

Les ateliers FL have set up an online placement test, to be taken before your arrival, to assess your knowledge of written comprehension and production. This test will be supplemented by an oral interview on the first day of class to :

  • Ensure that writing skills match oral levels
  • Better identify your skills and objectives
  • Place you in a class adapted to your level and needs

Evaluation during the stay

At Les ateliers FL every Friday, you will be assessed by your teacher to check that your progress is consistent and in line with the rest of the group.

Most Les ateliers FL schools are examination centers, so you can ask to take an official French exam at any time to assess and certify your level of French.

In addition, you benefit from personalized support to help you go further in your learning of the French language and culture, by working on your personal and professional learning objectives and needs.
