STUDENT LIFE
Before arriving at IFALPES
BEFORE ARRIVAL, THE STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE OUR PLACEMENT TEST.
They must complete the on line test at least 1 week before the start of the course. Each student will receive the login and password
with the enrolment confirmation. Full instructions are given to the student in French and in English when they log in. Students do not
receive the test results as this test is only to place students in their level group.
After this, students will have an oral interview by skype or telephone with the academic coordinator.
Timetables and groups will be communicated the week preceding the start of the course by mail.
The first day
ZERO HOUR LOST POLICY
Students should report to the school at 8.15am on the first day for a brief presentation of the school. Throughout the
day they will have an information meeting, school presentation, guided tour of the town and a welcome drink.

Students who didn’t sit the placement test before arrival, will sit an oral test at 9h00 and will join their group either in the

Students taking the 40 lessons course will attend the meeting at 8h15 and then they will join their groups in the morning and
