DELF/DALF
*Conditions apply. Valid for group preparation courses only. Additional conditions are available by contacting one of our language consultants.
No, not at all. You can contact us anytime to schedule a consultation. During that meeting, you’ll take a full placement test with a consultant to determine your level and create your personalized learning plan. If you're curious beforehand, you can also try a short online test.
You can reschedule a missed class at no extra cost the first two times. From the third time on, a small fee applies. We’ll always remind you before the session.
Progress varies, but typically students advance one CEFR level (e.g. A2→B1) in 3–6 months with consistent study.
According to CEFR-based estimates, progressing from A1 to B2 level typically requires around 500 to 650 hours of guided learning. At Swiss French School, this can vary depending on your pace, the intensity of your program, and how much individual practice you do outside of class.
Yes! You’ll receive a course completion certificate aligned with your CEFR level. We also offer preparation programs for official exams like DELF, DALF (A1–C2), and more.
