Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really help me get the long-stay student visa?
Yes, 100 %. We are Label Qualité FLE accredited and accepted by every French consulate. Once you pay the deposit we send your official enrolment certificate within 48 hours – that’s the main document needed for the VLS-TS “Étudiant” visa.
Can absolute beginners apply?
Absolutely! We welcome total beginners (A0). New beginner groups start the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month, and you’ll be speaking basic French from week 1.
Do you help with housing, CAF, bank account, OFII, etc.?
Yes – unlimited personal support included. We give you proven apartment lists, help fill out CAF and sécurité sociale forms, accompany you to the bank if needed, and guide you through OFII step-by-step.
What exactly are the 22.5 hours per week?
- 15 hours: morning micro-group classes Mon–Fri 9:15–12:30
- 6 hours: guided e-learning (exercises, videos, teacher corrections)
- 1.5 hours: Wednesday cultural workshop/outdoor activity in French
- → Perfectly meets the 20 h+/week visa requirement.
When can I start and how long is the certificate valid?
Start dates every Monday (beginners also 1st & 3rd Monday). The certificate is valid for the full 6 or 12 months you book, and you can extend later if you fall in love with Paris (most people do!).
