Parcours - Learn French to a measured, provable A2 level

A defensible CEFR A2, which converts to NCLC 4 to 5 on a Canadian immigration file. The curriculum runs A1 through A2 and stops there. It is not a B1 course and will not tell you it is one.

On your measured NCLC from a marked mock section, and the error bar around it. Not on minutes studied, points collected or days in a row. A board you can climb by turning up is only measuring that you turned up.

Yes. A study group is a private board ranked on measured NCLC, scoped to its members and visible only to them. Start one and send the invite link, or join with a link somebody sends you. There is no public board and no global ranking: every board you can be on is one you or someone you know made.

Not unless you decide it should be. You are ranked from the start but unlisted by default: you see your own position and nobody else sees your row. Appearing by name is an opt-in that takes a handle you choose.

There is one track and it starts at Module 01. Self-taught learners usually have holes in exactly the A1 material they believe is finished: gender agreement, negation, the two past tenses. The module tests find them faster than a placement quiz.

Forty to fifty minutes, roughly eighteen on the lesson and twenty-two on production. The last session of a module runs longer, because it is a test over everything the module covered.

You do not advance. You are returned to the two sessions you scored weakest on, and you retake it.

It replaces a classroom's structure: the sequence, the pacing, the marking, and the refusal to advance you early. It does not replace a conversation partner.

No. Only a sitting at an approved test centre produces a result Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will accept. A Parcours band is practice and a read on whether you are ready to book one. It is not submitted anywhere and counts for nothing on an application.

NCLC (Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens) is the twelve-point scale a Canadian immigration file states French ability on; CEFR is the six-band European scale (A1 to C2) that language courses are written against. Parcours teaches to CEFR and reports both, treating a defensible A2 as NCLC 4 to 5. That conversion is an approximation drawn from published equivalence charts, which have been revised before — IRCC is the authority on the exact mapping, not this site.
