Business French Diplomas

The Business French Diplomas are practical certifications delivered by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris Ile-de-France. They are intended for all those who wish to assess their communication skills (written and oral) in French in the main areas of the professional world : business, law, diplomacy, tourism and hotel industry, secretarial skills, sciences and technology, healthcare, fashion and design. The diplomas delivered are internationally recognized and valid for life.

These examinations are suitable for any student or professional of a specific field and assess the candidate’s ability to use French in professional situations, at different levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) developed by the Council of Europe, with diplomas ranging from breakthrough level (A1) to operational efficiency (C1). Diplomas in Professional French (DFP) assess the candidate’s aptitude and competence to use written and oral French in various areas of professional life. These tests are conceived based on real-life professional situations and are adapted to today’s economy.

At the moment, Business, Diplomacy and Tourism & Hotel Industry exams are computer-based while others are paper-based.

At the Institut français de Chypre individual or group preparation courses are available upon request.
