Have you not yet tested your language skills in the Swiss national languages? Then the fide test is the right way for you. We conduct the fide test in the national language German at GER levels A1 to B1. The fide test was initiated by the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and is recognized throughout Switzerland. You can use it for authorities, for further education, or when looking for a job.
Goals

The fide test consists of the parts "Speaking", "Understanding" as well as "Reading and Writing". It measures oral and written language skills separately, meaning you can take either the entire fide test or only the oral part or only the written part. The results in the written and oral sections may differ. You can repeat the fide test as a whole, or the oral part or the written part individually, as often as you like. The participation fee must be paid anew each time.
