Course information

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

Do you already have a recognized certificate or language competencies at B1 or higher and can provide proof of this? Then there is the option to obtain a language passport with the entry B1 (oral and written) through the B1 validation dossier.

Further information:
At www.fide-info.ch you will find a sample test as well as the regulations for participation in the fide test.
Costs
CHF 250 oral and written examination
CHF 170 ONLY oral examination (Speaking and Understanding)
CHF 120 ONLY written examination (Reading and Writing)

Further Information

Persons who wish to demonstrate their language competency in the national language German.

After completing the fide test, you will receive the Swiss Language Passport, which certifies the language competencies 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 employment.

We recommend early registration, as the number of places per date is limited. The last registration date, if places are available, is 4 weeks before the examination.
Registration is done using the separate registration form, which the ECAP Counseling & Administration team will be happy to provide.

Cancellation up to 3 weeks before the examination is free of charge. If registration is withdrawn at a later date or in case of non-attendance, the full fee will be charged.
