Important note
- It is not possible to make multiple appointments. Make sure you click on the right link.
- Appointments are distributed on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, please log on to the EPFC website as soon as possible at the announced appointment time in order to increase your chances of getting a place in the desired course.
- An appointment is not a promise of registration. Classes for some courses fill up very quickly. We recommend that you make an appointment as soon as possible at the beginning of the enrolment campaign in order to increase your chances of obtaining a place on the desired course.
- This is not an individual appointment. Several people can make an appointment at the same time. The length of your appointment will depend on the steps you take and those of the students before you.
The average duration of the process (reception, level test(s), registration, verification, payment) is 2 hours.
Make sure you arrive on time and choose an appointment time that allows you maximum flexibility. For French courses, the written test is organised on site.
The oral tests are organised at a later date and only concern people who have reached level 1, 2 or 3 in the written test. The oral tests and registration take place on the same day. Please allow between 1 and 2 hours for each appointment.
For levels above 3, the oral test will be assessed in class during the first lesson and may lead to a transfer of level if the teacher considers it useful.- For English courses, the written assessment test takes place online BEFORE the oral test. The oral tests are organised at EPFC. The oral tests and registration take place on the same day. Please allow between 2 and 3 hours on site.
Identity document
You must present an identity document or residence permit listed on this page, valid on or after the 1st/10 of the course date (unless otherwise stated), on the day of the appointment.
