Welcome to ESL-Lyon !

DELF / DALF

The DELF (A1 to B2) and the DALF (C1 and C2) are official diplomas of the French Ministry of National Education. There is an exam for each of the 6 levels of the framework of languages. The preparation courses are organised  in our schools in Lyon and Montreux.

TCF

The TCF is an thermometer-type exam which situates the candidate on the European scale of levels (CEFR). It takes place once a month in our schools in Lyon and Montreux and is ideal for students who wish to obtain recognised certification, even during a short-duration stay.

e-TEF

The e-TEF, the electronic version of the TEF, of the very reputed Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, offers great flexibility and allows each student enrolled in an ESL course to certify his/her level of French in an official and reliable way. Our school in Montreux is the test centre for the e-TEF and proposes 3 exam sessions per month for which it is possible to present oneself without specific previous preparation.
