They must complete the on line test at least 1 week before the start of the course. Each student will receive the login and password with the enrolment confirmation. Full instructions are given to the student in French and in English when they log in. Students do not receive the test results as this test is only to place students in their level group. After this, students will have an oral interview by skype or telephone with the academic coordinator. Timetables and groups will be communicated the week preceding the start of the course by mail. The first day

Students should report to the school at 8.15am on the first day for a brief presentation of the school. Throughout the day they will have an information meeting, school presentation, guided tour of the town and a welcome drink.
