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 demonstrate 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 Bern office, which certifies your language skills, 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 recognised by the Confederation and the cantons as proof of language competence. 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 recognised certificate or language skills at B1 level or higher and can you provide evidence of this? Then you have the option of obtaining a language passport with the entry B1 (oral and written) via the B1 validation dossier.

Further information:
At www.fide-info.ch you will find a mock test as well as the regulations for participating in the fide test.
Costs
CHF 250.– oral and written exam
CHF 170.– ORAL exam ONLY (speaking and understanding)
CHF 120.– WRITTEN exam ONLY (reading and writing)

Further Information

People who would like to provide proof of their language competence in the national language German.

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 recognised throughout Switzerland. You can use them with authorities, for further training or when looking for a job.

We recommend registering early, as the number of places per appointment is limited. The last registration deadline, if places are still available, is 4 weeks before the test date.
Registration is done using the separate registration form, which the ECAP Advice & Administration team will be happy to send you.

Cancellation up to 3 weeks before the test date is free of charge. If you withdraw your registration at a later date or do not show up, the full fee will be charged.
