The Certificate of Qualification in French is a language examination wich certifies the French level of the candidates, according to the scale of the CEFR. It is thought for all non-french speakers who wish to have a certification of their level of French.
Exams take place in the Anthropole building of the Quartier Chamberonne of the UNIL campus.
In order to obtain the CQF one has to deposit a portfolio and pass three exams: a writing exam, a listening and reading comprehension exam and an oral exam. Once the 3 exams have been passed, the CQF is awarded with the mention of the level obtained in the oral exam, the level obtained in the written exam and the level obtained in the reading comprehension examen and the level obtained in the listening comprehension exam (levels A1 to C1, in the terms of the CEFR).
Our Intensive course is an optimal preparation for the CQF as it includes the writing and compilation of a portfolio which is necessary for the admission to the exams.
