Online Preparation Course for fide test
Prepare your French fide test at your own pace.
The fide test enables you to obtain a language passport which certifies your level of French (A1, A2 or B1) and is necessary to apply for a residence or settlement permit in Switzerland as well as for the citizenship application.
To prepare for the test, our online course delivered via the Moodle platform enables you to work on both the oral and written components of the test by developing the skills and techniques needed to achieve your desired level. Our online preparation programme involves written and/or oral exercises to be done online, which will then be marked by a teacher together with feedback on areas for improvement.
Our online preparation course is divided into two modules – written and oral – which can be taken independently or in combination, and can be taken alongside our in-person private or group preparation courses.
Bell Language School is an accredited centre for passing the French fide test.
