The essentials in 30 seconds

You live in Saint-Denis and you're looking for French courses? Institut Evolution is right next door, in La Courneuve (30 rue Franklin), about ten minutes away by tram T1. We offer courses from level A1 to C1 and preparation for the TEF, TCF and DELF exams, with support in Arabic, French and English. 👋

Saint-Denis is one of the liveliest and most diverse towns in the 93, and many of its residents need a certified level of French for their paperwork. Good news: a specialised centre is just around the corner. Here is how we can help you.

From Saint-Denis, we're one tram ride away 📍

Our centre is at 30 rue Franklin, in La Courneuve, the town next to Saint-Denis. Tram T1 takes you there directly, in about ten minutes and with no change: get off at the Maurice Lachâtre stop, just steps from the centre.

It's also handy for your paperwork: like everywhere in the 93, your residence permit depends on the Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture (Bobigny). You prepare your French right nearby.

Courses tailored to your level, from beginner to advanced

We adapt to your starting point:

  • You're a beginner (A1): we start from the basics, no pressure, spoken and written.
  • You're making progress (A2 to B1): we aim for the exact level the prefecture asks of you.
  • You're aiming high (B2 to C1): naturalisation, higher studies or career growth.

Everything is in person, in small groups, with certified trainers used to non-French-speaking profiles.

Passing your official exam: TEF, TCF, DELF 🎯

Since January 2026, you must prove your level of French with a recognised certification for most residence permits. We prepare you for the three exams accepted by the prefectures.

The level you need:

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

We don't just revise the language: you practise on the real test sections (TEF IRN, TCF IRN or DELF). And if you don't know your level yet, we measure it for free.
