A rigorous French language course aimed at students who wish to have a serious Certificate proving their French language ability.  Minimum recommended course duration 6 weeks, but many students study for 12 weeks or even longer (up to 36 weeks) to achieve the required language level. The programme builds towards the set exam dates offered each year (contact CESA for exact dates).

The final 6 weeks include general language tuition in the Standard course and additional specific exam preparation.  Any additional weeks booked will consist of general language study following the same format as the Intensive Course. This is the ideal programme for those who wish to enhance their CV for work or academic reasons and need an official exam to prove their French language skills. Students choose to prepare for the DELF B2 or DALF C1 exams.  The college has always achieved an excellent pass rate for their students and many Academic Year and Languages for Life students will incorporate this exam element into their French studies in Montpellier.

Course Dates

Please refer to the Course Quotes attached – students are welcome to follow a French language course in Montpellier, for any period of the year. Most students combine a period of general French language group study with the final specific preparation for 6 weeks prior to the exam week itself, and treat the final week with the exam in it as an excellent self-study opportunity prior to sitting their exam.
You therefore need to book ONE extra week of accommodation to include the exam period.
