Not a beginner ? Take a placement test!

Students who are new to the Alliance Française but who have taken French courses before or have spent time in a French speaking country must take an informal placement test at the time of registration.

This test can be done in person or over the phone and consists of a quick interview with a French instructor who will recommend a class. To schedule your placement test, please fill out the following form and we will contact you shortly.
