The certificate of attendance states the type, level and length of the course being followed.
The certificate is given on request to students who have attended their lessons on a regular basis and who have taken an active part in lessons during their time spent at the Institut Parisien.

The “TEF” is designed to assess the level in the French language of people who are not native French speakers.
The Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry awards an attestation of the candidate’s level of French which acts as a reference for educational institutions and also for the business sector in recruiting staff.

The Institut Parisien is an official examination centre accredited by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
All students enrolled on either intensive courses or the au pair programme have the possibility of taking the TEF.

Please see calendar for dates and prices
