The "certificat d'études de français pratique" (CEFP) 1 and 2 are issued by the Alliance Française of Paris to non-francophone students from all over the world. These certificates have been modified and now fit in with the requirements of the ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe), of which the Alliance Française is the founding member.

These two volumes cover written and oral comprehension, oral and written production with an emphasis on structural competence, through some individual and some group activities.
