The Institut de Langue et de Culture Françaises (ILCF) is part of the Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP), a private higher education institution.
This allows our students to benefit from internship agreements. Students must locate their own internship, which must be carried out during their session.

This internship must meet four conditions :

  • the trainee must be registered at ILCF (complete dossier and payment),
  • Preregistrations are insufficient,
  • the trainee must be taking a minimum of 15 hours of courses per week,
  • the trainee must practice his/her French during the internship,
  • the trainee must be registered with the Sécurité Sociale (French social security).

Assessment

Continuous monitoring and final evaluation

Under exam conditions (same written exam for all classes of the same level, and oral exam with an instructor from another class of the same level).

Certificate

At the end of each session, all students receive a “Studies in French as a Foreign Language” certificate mentioning the language level attained (or in the process of being attained), the number of hours and the corresponding ECTS credits earned.
 
As a partner of the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ILCF serves as an exam centre for the TEF and DFP.
Two exam sessions are organized yearly, in December and in April. Information and registration on-site at the administration office.
