New for 2026: French Summer Camp Chamonix

BULATS Official Test Centre

Alpine French School is pleased to announce that we are now an official BULATS test centre accredited by the Cambridge Language Assessment Board and Alliance Française.

If you are looking to take a certification to validate your level of French or English for studies, employment or simply for your personal knowledge, then you can now take the BULATS exam in Morzine at Alpine French School.

BULATS stands for Business Language Testing Service and the test adapts to any level, from beginner to advanced. Upon completion of a 85-minute test, you obtain a certificate stating your level of French based on the CECR levels and on the BULATS point system. The test is part of the Cambridge Language Assessment tests and the French test is accredited by L’Alliance Française. BULATS is a fast, flexible and affordable way to get accurate certification of workplace and language skills. It is an internationally accepted language test aligned with international standards and recognised by employers and government agencies around the world.

If you take a training course with Alpine French School that ends with a BULATS test, then you can apply to use the new CPF personal training budget system to cover the cost of your training course. All people employed on seasonal or permanent contracts can benefit from this training budget even after the end of their contract of employment. And to make it even easier for you, we handle all of the paperwork and the administration surrounding the training budget.

We offer several different training courses for French and English for which you can use your CPF training budget that end in a BULATS test. There is no minimum level required, even complete beginners can enrol.

Please contact us for more information on [email protected] and we will be happy to tell you more about this.
