Their profiles
Two distinct yet complementary profiles have been identified for the purposes of pairing up auditors with an advanced knowledge and understanding of French as a foreign language centres.

The secondary auditor specialises in teaching FFL and is an expert in the field of course engineering. They analyse the methodological and pedagogical components of a teaching programme and assess the quality of the audited centre's teaching staff, which is why they are more specifically responsible for criteria E (Teachers) and F (Teaching and training courses).
