The FEI monitoring unit is responsible for selecting and circulating international cooperation projects relating to the field of education with regards to multilateral, community and bilateral financial institutions.

150 online sources are monitored and scrutinised on a daily basis, including both international (European Commission, World Bank, regional development banks, etc.) and national sources. We select those markets likely to be of interest to certified centres on a daily basis and then inform the latter by means of a distribution list.

Once a year the CIEP holds a seminar on quality assurance in the teaching of French as a foreign language, with the support of the Delegate General to the French Language and Languages of France (DGLFLF).

The FEI offers support to French as a foreign language teaching centres looking to develop a reliable and rigorous quality-driven approach in compiling their applications for Qualité français langue étrangère certification.

You can get in touch with us as soon as you start thinking about applying to check that your application is admissible and that you clearly understand the 96 indicators of the certification framework, how to compile your application and finally how the audit will be structured.

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.
