In order to ensure that the students are placed in the proper level, a placement test will be offered to all new students who have some knowledge of French language and to returning students of the AEF, who have not participated in a course in 6 months or more.

If a class is full, students can request to be placed on the waiting list. Students on the waiting list will be contacted as soon as there is an opening in the original class due to a withdrawal, or when the number of students requires that an additional class be created.

Students are requested to come on time to the class. On the first class, students will only be allowed once they have shown a valid receipt or their student card to the teacher. Students need to have the proper course material in order to get in the class.
Course material downloaded on your phone is not acceptable as course material.
Please note that regular attendance and punctuality will ensure a smooth teaching-learning process.

Use of cellular phones is not permitted in classrooms. Eating and drinking are not permitted in classrooms.

Students are requested to pay the full tuition and book fees prior to the start of the session. For new students, the AEF will apply a non-refundable registration fee. The cost of course materials and books is separate from the tuition fee.

Payments must be made in full at time of registration by bank transfer prior to the session.

AEF reserves the right to cancel any course, should there be fewer than eleven students registered for the course.
In the event that a course is cancelled, AEF will offer students the option of a) transferring to another course, b) transferring to the next session or c) obtaining a full refund.
