Course information

Contents
The fide test consists of two parts:
Oral exam (Speaking and Understanding)
Written exam (Reading and Writing)
Goals
With the fide test, you can prove your oral and written language skills at levels A1, A2, and B1 according to the CEFR.
Procedure
4 weeks after the exam, you will receive the language passport directly from the fide office in Bern, which certifies your language proficiency, provided your correspondence address is correct. Over Christmas/New Year, you will receive the language passport approx. 6 weeks after the exam. The fide test is recognized by the federal government and cantons as proof of language proficiency. You can repeat or update the fide test as often as you like once you have reached a higher language level.

Do you already have a recognized certificate or language skills at B1 level or higher and can provide evidence of this? Then there is the possibility of acquiring a language passport with a B1 entry (oral and written) via the B1 validation dossier.

Further information:
At www.fide-info.ch you will find a practice test as well as the regulations for participating in the fide test.
Costs
CHF 250 oral and written exam

After completing the fide test, you will receive the Swiss language passport, which certifies the language skills demonstrated.
The fide test and the language passport were initiated by the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and are recognized throughout Switzerland. You can use them with authorities, for further education, or when looking for a job.
