FRENCH A1/A2 (CEFR) – 75 HOURS PER LEVEL
Field: 222 – Foreign Languages and Literatures
Level: A1 – Beginner / A2 – Elementary
Total Hours: 75h per level
Mode: In-person / Online / Hybrid
Base UFCDs:
- A1 → CLC_LEI_2 – Foreign Language – Beginner – French (50h), operationalized in 3 × 25h modules with supplementary activities to reach 75h.
- A2 → CLC_LEC_2 – Foreign Language – Continuation – French (50h), operationalized in 3 × 25h modules with supplementary activities to reach 75h.
Pedagogical Justification:
Dividing the UFCD into three 25h modules allows gradual progression, modular assessment, and continuous monitoring, ensuring full coverage of the CEFR level objectives. The extra hours are used for reinforcement, exercises, and autonomous work.
Note Regarding Certification on SIGO Platform
- The official UFCDs (CLC_LEI_2 and CLC_LEC_2) each have a catalogued duration of 50h.
- While our training plan uses 75h per level for pedagogical purposes, the SIGO official certification will reflect only the UFCD-approved 50h.
- The additional 25h per level are planned as complementary learning and reinforcement.
- This ensures that students achieve the CEFR level effectively, but the certificate issued via SIGO will indicate 50h per UFCD.
