Preparation Program for the fide test
Prepare for success with our Super Profs!
Permis C / Swiss naturalisation
Permis C / Swiss naturalisation
Are you a resident of one of the 7 French-speaking cantons of Switzerland and would like to successfully pass your Swiss test in order to renew/obtain your Permis B, C or Swiss naturalisation?
If you want to stay in Switzerland in the long term, you will eventually need to pass the A1/A2/B1 Swiss oral and written tests.
Applicants for residency or work permits in Suisse romande must indeed demonstrate their speaking, comprehension and writing skills in the local language, a pre-requisite in order to later renew or obtain your Permis B, C (régulier/anticipé) or Swiss Naturalisation.

We are so happy we discovered Prêt à Parler. They have helped our whole family with our integration in Switzerland and applications for our C permits. Before, we were uncomfortable speaking French (and making mistakes!), but our Super Prof makes the lessons relaxed and helps us speak more freely. On top, the school owner Isabelle really goes above and beyond to help, not just with the lessons but any overall questions and advice on the permit process. Prêt à Parler is not just a language school, but a whole support system for our integration.
It is the best investment we have made!

I recommend Prêt à Parler to anyone who is thinking about taking French lessons. The fact that you can book your lessons online makes it super easy to be organized, especially when you are a busy working mom of two. My French teacher was excellent - really kind, patient and encouraging. He went at an excellent pace and I felt fully prepared for my fide exam which I passed with better grades than what I needed. Do not hesitate to book a language package with them!
Smita Singh - Marketing & Communications at EBU (Geneva)
My experience with Prêt à Parler has been so rewarding. Initially I just wanted to have enough lessons to help me pass the FIDE A1 exam, however, my wonderful tutor, Aurore, helped me to not only pass that exam but to achieve excellent results enabling me to pass the A2 exam with ease. She tuned into what I needed, helped me when I struggled and made the lessons interesting and fun. Her patience, praise and the ready access to the client portal made me eager to learn and to keep practising French outside of the contact lessons. Thank you Aurore and Prêt à Parler.

I am so glad to have picked Prêt à Parler for preparing for my fide exam. My teacher, Brice, is very competent, in fact, so good that I've exceeded my wildest expectation in my examination performance. I immediately made a reference to my colleague as well. I want to thank the organization and its relentless support to people who need to obtain the qualification as well as igniting my genuine interest in learning French.
Howard Yu
I recently finished a private FIDE preparation course with 10 lessons, and I’m really happy with my experience. My teacher, Marjolaine Moulin, was super kind, patient, and very organized.
Marjolaine quickly identified the areas where I needed improvement and helped me focus on the specific skills required for the exam. We practiced exactly the kinds of tasks I would encounter, especially in speaking and listening. I felt well-prepared on exam day and was able to achieve the B1 level.
I’d definitely recommend Prêt à Parler to anyone getting ready for the FIDE test. The support and teaching were at a very high level!
Irina
I really enjoyed my lessons with Super Prof Vincent. Vincent is a miracle worker, very professional and patient and he made learning French fun. Thanks to him I just passed my FIDE exam and exceeded my own expectations plus I have gained so much more confidence in speaking French. The whole PaP team are very enthusiastic and lovely to work with. Highly recommended!
Loryn Thorburn - Associate Director, Bristol Myers Squibb
Basile, thank you so much for your help, support, and professionalism, your lessons have helped me a lot to progress and gain confidence!
Anna M.
My teacher has been wonderful! I passed the FIDE test with B1 in both writing and speaking. I am sooo proud of myself, I cannot believe it.
I want to THANK Basile with all my heart and soul for the patience and the speed with which he poured knowledge into my head. Each session was like 5 sessions with other teachers before. You are an amazing teacher, Basile!
To any expats hesitating to reach out to Prêt à Parler — don’t wait! This has been one of the best French learning decisions I’ve made. The lessons were great: dynamic, well-structured, and tailored to my goals. My teacher, Basile, was incredibly supportive and skilled, and the preparation for the FIDE exam was spot-on. I felt confident, ready, and really enjoyed the process. It’s absolutely worth the price, not just for passing an exam, but for feeling comfortable speaking French in real life.
Dessi
Whatever your goals or needs are, Prêt à Parler will get you ready. The whole learning experience for me was comfortable. My Super Prof walked me through one of the reading and writing scenarios and I was able to use my time very efficiently during my fide exam because I was already familiar with the format. My investment in paying for the private lessons has absolutely paid off. I have recommended your services to other expats!
Michael Moore
Prêt à Parler CH is a wonderful option for those looking for a highly customized and flexible learning environment. My schedule made it very difficult to take traditional French courses. Prêt à Parler CH's remote option meets all my needs for this, and my French professor, Marjolaine, created a very custom program to meet my French language needs. I look forward to working with Marjolaine and Prêt à Parler CH in the future to continue my French language journey.
Joshua Puchalski
I recently took the FIDE online group lessons with Prêt à Parler to prepare for my FIDE exam, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The lessons were absolutely fantastic: practical, engaging, and perfectly tailored to the exam format. The teacher created a supportive and dynamic atmosphere that made it easy to participate and improve quickly. Thanks to this excellent preparation, I passed the FIDE exam with flying colors! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to feel confident and ready.
Pieter N.
J’ai fait la préparation pour l’examen FIDE et j’ai trouvé le cours très utile. Le SUPERPROF Brice est très gentil et, chaque semaine, nous avançons avec les différents thèmes et la pratique pour l’examen.
Paola Martinez
I can't speak highly enough of Marjolaine! She's been a fantastic teacher, endlessly patient, informative, and engaging. She has built my confidence and ability to a level I didn't think was possible when I began.
It might seem a little daunting at first, and it's definitely a commitment, but cast your doubts aside, make the call, then dive in and take the lessons with Prêt à Parler—you won't regret it! I've found all the lessons interesting, varied, and very relevant to the Fide test. When I take it, I feel I'll be as well prepared as I can be!
Sarah B.
I took a course to prepare for the fide test. I have significantly improved my knowledge and I am well prepared for the exam. I passed the B1 exam at the first attempt! I could not have done it without Prêt à Parler. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who wants to improve their spoken French, understand grammar, develop their vocabulary and pass the exam.
