Official Certifications

There are different language certifications, most are indexed on the CEFR scale, the fundamental reference of the language evaluation system. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFRL) is recognized internationally by more than 130 countries.

Its main advantage is to offer a reference scale independent of the evaluating body and the certification chosen and transposable to all languages ​​(English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, etc). Divided into 6 levels, the CEFR scale assesses the ability to express and understand, oral and written, as well as the ability to interact.

The CEFRL system makes it possible to evaluate the ease of communication for all levels: it is not a sanction score to be achieved, but a level recognition. So whatever your score is, you get an indicator of your level.

We offer you different certifications adapted to your objectives which will give you a CEFRL equivalence.

 

Do you need to know or justify your level in office automation? Passing a certification is a guarantee of distinction in your CV and reassures your employer. Unlike languages however, there is no office/computer reference scale. We offer three certifications depending on your expectations and objectives: IDCL (formerly PCIE), ENI or TOSA.

You can choose according to your objectives. All three are in any case recognized and eligible for the consideration of the financing of your training by Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF).

IDCL: a European certification

Valid and updated every 3 years, IDCL certifies that you have the necessary knowledge to use a computer as well as the main software required in business. The IDCL is divided into 7 modules which cover the following fundamental areas:

• General knowledge of the workstation and its environment;
• Document management (Windows environment, Drive);
• Word processing (Word, Writer, Docs);
• Spreadsheet (Excel, Calc, Sheet);
• Database (Access, Base);
• Presentation (Powerpoint, Impress, Slides);
• Web browsing and email (Outlook, Gmail, Chrome).

For each of the 7 modules, the test consists of 36 questions in the form of MCQs. A module is validated if the score is greater than or equal to 75% of correct answers. If you don’t get the 75% score, you can still bring up the module and the score that certifies your level.

 

ENI certification

Office certifications – Office ENI are in the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire with several levels of questions. 70% of the assessment is practical.

The ENI certification test is timed and lasts approximately 1 hour.
Must-know: on the day of the exam, you can practice a few questions beforehand to familiarize yourself with the exam environment. 70% of the assessment takes place using the software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) for which you are getting the certification. You are in the real environment in which you were trained. All your actions and manipulations are taken into account: right click, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

At the end of the test, the candidate is assigned a score from 0 to 1000. The score is calculated based on the number of correct answers, weighted by the level of each correct answer. The points for practical case questions are 10 times higher than for a SCQ/MCQ type of questionnaire. This score defines the level of skills acquisition achieved by the candidate:

• From 0 to 149/1000: the candidate is not certified
