Fantastic experience: I chose Alliance Française Cambridge to take my DELF B1 exam, in December 2025 and I’m very happy with my experience. Everything was well organised and professional. Communication by email was efficient and clear, and I was well informed in advance about everything I needed for the exam day. On the day all the staff were welcoming, supportive and very nice which really helped reduce exam stress. They even decorated for Christmas in reception which was a nice warm touch. The atmosphere was calm and reassuring, and the examiners were fair and encouraging. I would definitely recommend Alliance Française Cambridge to anyone preparing for or taking an official French exam.
Thank you, Lauren, for your message. We are delighted that your experience with DELF B1 at Alliance Française Cambridge was positive. See you soon!

Fantastic experience: My Wife and I are ever grateful as we were stuck and unable to fit in the regular examen sessions. After contacting the exam committee of the Alliance Française, a special session was organised for us. And during all the process leading to the exam day all the necessary information were provided to us with a great accuracy and availability. The day before of the exam, we travelled for about 11hours to reach the exam venue. The staff was polite and welcoming which made our experience very pleasant. I will therefore recommend the AF to anyone seeking to sit a French exam or seeking for French courses. Our regards to the whole team and all the best.
Merci beaucoup c'est vraiment gentil. Votre message nous a fait très plaisir. L'équipe de l'alliance Cambridge
Fantastic experience: I chose Alliance Francaise Cambridge for my TEF Canada exam. From the moment , I reached the site , I knew I came to an auspicious place. The lady at the reception was very polite , and offered me to sit in the Library , where I managed to meditate prior to start my exams. On this occasion, the examiner ,Ms JASMINE conducted methodically all.the exams. Her welcoming smile and reassuring voice made me feel comfortable and ready for my exams. She was very thorough and made sure we used the computers correctly. She is a real asset for Alliance Francaise Cambridge. I can only praise this wonderful site,and must give it 5 out of 5 stars.
