Diagnosis and orientation
Are you interested in registering for our classes? Alliance Française Ottawa offers an assessment test to assess your exact level to join the right class. This tool was designed by the Alliance Française of La Haye, an organization recognized across the world.
No test is required at Alliance Française Ottawa if you are a complete beginner. If so, please register online for level A1.1. A1.1 level classes are designed for new students who have never studied French before and have no knowledge of the French language.
This test is aligned with the proficiency 6 skills levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) of the CEFRL (also known as Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
