It is recommended that you take the test without the use of any study aids to obtain a more accurate result. Take the French placement test now. To register for this certificate, you should be at French 4 in the placement test.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
Learners with prior learning in the French language as confirmed by the placement test may be eligible for a course credit in recognition of their prior learning. The placement test will indicate the recommended French course that learners should register into. If the placement test recommends that a learner starts the certificate at the second course (FREN 201), then the learner can apply for a PLAR for the first course. The learner should first register for the recommended course after taking the placement test, then send an email to cplliberalarts@humber.ca to apply for the PLAR. There is a fee of $86 per course associated with the application for PLAR.
