French language school in France

Label "French foreign language quality"

After a quality audit was conducted by the CIEP (International Centre for Pedagogical Studies), ILA obtained the "French as foreign Language" quality accreditation, for compliance and quality of it's assistance, services, courses, environment and management.

In 2007, The French government initiated a quality Insurance procedure within the French as foreign language schools in France.

Every year more than 100 000 people come to France to learn French. Some 300 language centres (public, private or associative) offer their services in this respect.

To address such situation, FRANCE through the participation of three ministries, Higher Education and Research, Foreign and European Affairs, and Culture and Communication, has decided to establish a certification system of the French foreign language centres established on French territory.

For this purpose, a label entitled "French foreign Language quality" has been created.

This process aims at the official identification, recognition and promotion of the schools where the language programs and related services present the required quality guarantees.

IALC - International Association of Language Centres

Our French language school is member of the international quality association IALC (International association of Language Centres) and we commit ourselves to accept the IALC Code of Ethic.

Before being accepted by IALC, a qualified IALC inspector visited our Institute and assessed thoroughly all aspects of our operation: curriculum, teaching, academic management, accommodation, general management, administration, finance, marketing, feedback and complaint procedures, etc.

The inspector's report was reviewed by the IALC Membership Committee and in 2003 we were accepted as a full member of IALC at the yearly IALC meeting.

As a member of IALC, we also have regular re-inspections by IALC inspectors as well as the obligation to provide Annual self-assessment returns and Quality plans.

Only a very small number of language centres in France could fulfil the high standards expected by IALC to be accepted as members. Our French language institute is the only IALC member in Montpellier.

Groupement FLE

I.L.A. is member of the Groupement FLE. The Groupement FLE brings together schools teaching French in France which offer a wide range of quality services to students, business people or people just interested in learning French in France during a language stay.

The Groupement FLE also aims to promote its member schools, as well as sharing experience and knowledge to improve quality standards.

This "quality reference" is based on criteria, firm commitments and audits, outlined in a reference document, to which all Groupement FLE member schools adhere.
