The Qualité français langue étrangère certification is the result of a quality assurance approach on the part of three French ministries, namely the Ministry for Higher Education and Research, the Ministry for Culture and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, all of which are members of the Interministerial Certification Committee that awards the certification.

The scope of the certification covers French language training, with the exception of teacher and trainer training courses, and a range of peripheral services surrounding the provision of French as foreign language classes, such as hosting facilities, premises, equipment and management.
