Institut français in Germany: results within 15 working days after the last part; the diploma about 6 months after the exam; a pass attestation can be issued earlier. Ask your French centre for its own timing.[3]

Compréhension des écrits
- Duration: 30 min; 4–5 short written documents.
- Answer questions on short documents from daily life.
- CEFR A1 reading: understand familiar names, words and very simple sentences, e.g. on notices, posters or in catalogues.
Production écrite
- Duration: 30 min; 2 tasks.
- Fill in a form; write simple sentences (postcard, message) on everyday topics.
- CEFR A1 writing: write a short, simple postcard and fill in forms with personal details.
Production orale
