Internship(s)

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 exam

At the end of each session, an obligatory final evaluation is held under DELF-exam conditions (same written and oral exam shared by all classes of the same level).

Certificate

At the end of each session, all students receive a “Studies in French as a Foreign Language” certificate awarded by ILCF / ICP and mentioning the courses taken, the number of hours completed, the language level attained and the corresponding ECTS credits earned.
As a partner of the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry est is an exam centre for the TEF et les DFP exams.
Two exam sessions are organized yearly, in December and April. Information and registration on-site.
