Linguistic competences
These competences are examined under the frame of the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
"Krischa Formation" follows in its courses this official frame and
issues. At the end of every course, a participation confirmation (certificat), which is
recognized by the
Luxembourgian authorities, is drawn up to every participant.
The different learning steps are fixed as follows:
