Graded according to the Common European Framework of Reference
(2) According to the level upon arrival; the duration of the course; the exam dates and the level achieved at the end of
the preparation
(3) Afternoon courses are mandatory
* Practical and professional context
** Due to the new DELF exams calendar our DELF preparation session of 05.01.2014 will be exceptionally
organised in 11 weeks.
Important information about the DELF courses:
Since the DELF exam changed, students who do the DELF preparation are mixed with
other students.
Since the beginning of 2008 all of our courses evolved in order to adapt as closely as possible
to the concept developed by the CECR (Commune European Framework of Reference).
They encourage a dynamic and interactive teaching method (pédagogie active) which places
students in practical situations where they have to communicate and exchange for a genuine
overall progression in all skills.
The DELF course embraces that approach which prevails throughout all of our programs so
that it may comply with the CECR recommendations. It only slightly stands out as it proposes
more regular training to the DELF various examinations. However, students in the DELF
program are regularly assessed by their teachers who tutor them individually.
11
They are evaluated through blank tests or extra assignments/homework in order to get
intensive training for each part of the test in the DELF. Lastly, they will be offered the help
they need with all the issues regarding the exams.
The examination takes place during the last week of the students' stay. Depending on
the exam date, the last week will be dedicated to final preparation for the exam (if the
exam takes place at the end of the week) or to the correction of the exam
(if the exam takes place at the beginning of the week).
At the time of registration, students are sent a level test. This should be returned as soon as
possible.
Prior to departure, students are given a certificate from the school detailing the length of the
course taken, the level achieved, and the teacher's appraisal.
The registration fee set by the French national Education is 100€ per unit and must be paid
upon arrival (fees may be subject to change).
The examinations may run over a period of three days.

Nationals from other countries NEED A VISA, whatever the duration of the stay. They are
advised to contact the French embassy or council in their country.
Before departure, the student must verify that he/she possesses insurance covering his/her
stay in France.
All students younger than 18 must have insurance (covering health, accidental injury, and
repatriation of remains) before arriving and provide a copy of this information to the CIA language
school at the time of enrollment.
34
European Health Insurance Card :
- From 2006, nationals from countries members of the European Union can get a free
European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). EHIC allows citizens of the EEA countries and
Switzerland to receive medical treatment in another member state for free or at a reduced
cost, if that treatment becomes necessary during their visit (for example, due to illness or an
accident), or if they have a pre-existing chronic condition which requires care such as kidney
dialysis.
- It only covers healthcare which is normally covered by a statutory health care system in the
visited country, so it does not render travel insurance obsolete.
- The EHIC replaces the E111 document that was needed to get a medical cover in another
European country.
- The EHIC is normally valid for three to five years and covers any medical treatment that
becomes necessary during your trip, because of either illness or an accident. The card gives
access to state-provided medical treatment only.
