Your Lausanne school is a certified fide testing center

Any non-Swiss resident is required to have valid proof of language if they wish to apply for Swiss nationality or to renew their residence permit. The FIDE test is a certified and recognized proof of language issued by the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM).

Depending on your permit status, you will need to prove that you can speak and write at a certain level (going from A1 to B1).

If you want to quickly reach the level you need to get your language passport, register now for the fide test in our Lausanne French school.

When I started my research about French schools, the decision I had to make between SFS and another school was very easy. When an SFS team contacted me, I was given an assurance that I will be able to start speaking French in no time, and they were not wrong. Three months ago I had zero confidence and I was a nervous rack how I would be able to take on this challenging language, however, within just a couple of weeks of attending the lessons, social clubs and ateliers, I was able to speak, built confidence and the nervousness was gone. Excellent teachers with superb pedagogical expertise. The entire SFS team is absolutely amazing (from receptionists to the coordinators). Excellent atmosphere, I enjoy learning French, and look forward to become fluent in French. I'd give 10 stars for this school if an option was given :)

I had a great experience at SFS this year. They have a modern character. The teachers are very polite and they have a lot of experience in teaching, for example: their education advisor is excellennt, etc. For me time management is so good as am a working person and I can choose the time whenever am free. Thank you very much.

I would like to write a review for my experience in Swiss French School. I have done 3 courses as, A2, B1,B2 during a year. Atmosphere is amazing at school, very positive and helpful team. I would like to recommend my personal manager David Feron, as he had help me to enroll and explained me entire process and been guiding me through the year. There is many school outside, but good approach and pleasant time is not everywhere. Choose the best for you!

I have been a first-time student of the French language for two months at Swiss French School. I truly enjoyed my productive time during that period. My French language progressed from the beginning not knowing how to form the present, imperfect, and passé composé, and being able to talk about basic subjects. My private tutor, Elodie Morin, is a superb educator who helped me concentrate on speaking and learning the fundamentals of French grammar. Choosing to study at the Swiss French School was one of the best decisions I have ever made to learn French.
