A certification aligned with the CEFR

LILATE evaluates language skills according to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

• Reading & Listening
• Writing & Speaking
• Live Interaction — a unique dimension in the market

This recognition allows LILATE holders to have a certificate that is readable and understandable everywhere in the world.

Official recognition in France

Notarized Signature

In some countries or for certain administrative procedures, a legal proof of authenticity of the certificate may be required.

In this case, only the candidate’s notary must submit the verification request. The notary should contact us and attach the relevant certificate (showing both the photo and the QR code).

We will then confirm the authenticity of the document directly to the notary, allowing them to apply their official stamp and signature securely on the certificate.

Is LILATE a diploma?

No, LILATE is not a diploma issued by the State like the baccalauréat or a BTS.

It is a professional certification that meets labor market requirements and fits within the scope of continuing education.
