- Frequency - 4 hours per day : a half-day (morning or afternoon)
- Frequency - 6 hours per day : 4 h in the morning + lunch + 2 h in the afternoon
- Courses will be organised for each period and level only on condition that there are sufficient participants. Requests will be accepted within the limits of the number of places available.
- Requests made by a directorate general or a service will take priority over requests from individuals.
- Priority will be given to applicants who have not yet had the opportunity to participate in the twice-weekly standard courses or the semi-intensive or intensive courses organised during the current academic year, unless they can justify an urgent need for the language in their work.
PLACEMENT TESTSFor people whose level in the language requested is not known, placement tests will be organised at the end of April and the beginning of May. An invitation will be sent in due course.
ADMISSION CRITERIA
Applicants must :
- Be either an official, a temporary, auxiliary or local agent at the closing date for applications. Seconded national experts (END) will be admitted if space is available.
- Never have participated in a specialised or specific course in the language requested (or not have been assessed as being of a higher level than level 6 in the placement test).
For those who are currently attending a standard course at level 6, only those students who have not successfully completed the session will be considered.
PROCEDURE FOR ENROLMENT
All applications for an intensive course must be on the basis of a new request even if the applicant is already attending a standard twice-weekly course.

- Those who are not enrolled in a standard twice-weekly course and wish to continue classes in that language must submit a new application for the next session of standard courses.
- Those who are already attending a standard twice-weekly course will be automatically enrolled at the next level when the courses restart.
