Not sure about your level? Start with our quick and reliable placement process in 3 simple steps:

Step 1 – Complete & submit the form below with your information.
Step 2 – Book a short 10-minute call at your preferred time with our Education Director to assess your speaking skills (no preparation needed).
Step 3 – Purchase your Evalang test code to assess you reading, listening, grammar and vocabulary skills. The Evalang test takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll receive instructions by email after your purchase. Evalang access codes are typically sent within 48 business hours (excluding Sundays and Mondays).

Bonus: The $20 fee is fully credited to your account when you register for any of our courses or services — so your placement test is essentially free once you enroll!

For Children (Ages 16 and Under)

For younger learners, we offer a Free Level Assessment. Simply complete a short online form (Step 1) about your child’s experience with French, and book a follow-up appointment (Step 2) directly with one of our team members. No paid test is required. This process helps us place your child in the class that best matches their age and language background, ensuring a comfortable and positive learning experience.
