OLS Courses, Tests & Certificates

Hi there! 

Here is a brief explanation of the courses available in the OLS French Learning Community  and a guide on obtaining the language certificates. 

  1. Language Assessment 

First and foremost, you will need to take a short languageassessment. Once completed, the platform will recommend the course that best matches your learning needs on your Dashboard. The assessment test can be accessed here

  1. Courses 

OLS offers 4 comprehensive courses designed specifically to help you prepare for your mobility program and to improve your french while you’re there. These courses are: 

These courses include 10 or more modules on different topics and learning goals. Please note that we are continuously developing new course material and module. For advanced learners I can recommend the Practice Your French and Living Abroad forums, and the OLS Blog to continue learning.   

  1. Check Your Progress 

At the end of each course, you will find a section titled "Check your progress." This section is a final test that, if successfully passed, will allow you to obtain an OLS certificate. Access to this evaluation is granted only after achieving 100% completion of ALL modules.  

  1. Where to download the certificate(s) 

As mentioned earlier, once you successfully pass any of the final tests, you will be able to download your OLS certificate. You can easily get it from either the course page or your ‘Dashboard’, specifically under the ‘My achievements’ section. This is an example of what the certificate looks like: 

 

Well, I think that's pretty much it. We wish you a fruitful and enjoyable learning experience here, at OLS. If you have any doubts or questions, please let us know in the comments section down below. 

Happy learning!

Hi Gaia,

The test results are available on the test page (not on the dashboard). Here’s how you can access your results:

  1. Go to “French Placement Test”
  2. Click on “Start Assessment”
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to “Summary of your previous attempts”
  4. There, you should see your completed test and the “Review” button on the right
  5. Click on “Review”
  6. You will be taken to the page with your test results
  7. On the right-hand side of the screen, click on “Finish Review” under “Quiz navigation”
  8. You will then be able to see your final test results
  9. From there, you can download your tests results as a PDF — this is your certificate. 

The OLS platform can be a bit tricky to navigate at first. Don’t hesitate to reach out again if you have any other questions — we’re here to help :)

Have a great day!

Hello,
The video about concentration and task completion is in English, and the related activities require the answers to be given in English.
I would kindly ask you to take this into account and make the necessary correction.

dditionally, while I complete the activities and I can see my grades, the platform does not show that the cycle has been fully completed at the end.
This is quite frustrating, as I often end up taking the same test two or three times, which is time-consuming and unfair.

I would appreciate it if this issue could be checked and resolved.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi Maria,

Thank you very much for your message and for sharing these detailed remarks.

I will contact the technical team to report these issues so they can look into it and make the necessary corrections.

In the meantime, you may try accessing the platform using a different browser.

I will keep you informed as soon as I receive an update.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
