Question 1

What is IIOFL?

IIOFL, the International Institute of French Language, is an online French school offering live, small-group classes with a real teacher. We prepare students for the DELF exams from A1 to B2, and we are certified by CAVILAM.

Question 2

Are the classes live or recorded?

Accepted Answer

All classes are live. Each session is a real-time video class with your teacher, not a pre-recorded video. Sessions are also recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one.

Question 3

Which levels do you teach?

Accepted Answer

We teach the DELF levels A1, A2, B1 and B2, as single levels or as bundle packs, plus a full pathway from A1 to B2.

Question 4

How long does a level take?

Accepted Answer

Each level runs over several weeks with a few live sessions per week. The full pathway from A1 to B2 is 160h30 over roughly nine months. Exact durations are on our pricing page.

Question 5

Do you cover all four skills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every course covers listening, speaking, reading and writing, with regular speaking practice and personal feedback, thanks to the small group format.

Question 6

Is this real DELF exam preparation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Courses are built around the DELF exam, covering the four exam sections, with practice on official format tasks, full mock exams, and exam strategy. We use official sample materials from France Education International.

Question 7

What is included, and are there extra fees?

Accepted Answer

Each pack includes live classes, course materials, DELF mock exams, personalised progress tracking, a free placement test and consultation, and a certificate of achievement. The only separate cost is the official DELF exam fee, paid directly to your exam centre.

Question 8

Do I get a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On completing your course you receive an IIOFL certificate of achievement. The internationally recognised credential is the DELF diploma itself, awarded by France Education International when you pass the official exam, and our courses prepare you for it.

Question 9

How does learning French help for Canada?

Accepted Answer

For Canada, the recognised tests are TEF Canada and TCF Canada, and for Quebec, TEFAQ and TCF Quebec. Our DELF based preparation builds the same four skills these tests measure. For exact requirements and points, check the official IRCC and Quebec guidance.
