French courses for all levels (A1 to C1)

Our training is for adults and adapts to your starting point:

  • Complete beginners (A1): you don't speak French yet? We build the basics together, both spoken and written.
  • Intermediate levels (A2 to B1): you can already get by but need to reach the level required by the prefecture.
  • Advanced levels (B2 to C1): for naturalisation, studies or work.

Classes are held in person, in small groups, with certified trainers who understand the challenges faced by non-French speakers.

Preparing for the official exams: TEF, TCF, DELF 🎯

Since 1 January 2026, a certified level of French is required for most residence permits. We prepare you for the three exams recognised by the prefectures.

The level you need:

  • Multi-year residence card → level A2
  • Resident card (10 years) → level B1
  • French naturalisation → level B2

Our training combines French courses with a real exam preparation module: you don't just revise the language, you practise on the real test sections (TEF IRN, TCF IRN or DELF). Not sure of your level yet? We assess it for free and point you to the right exam.
