Academic Credit
C.I.E.L. Brest works in close collaboration with the University of
Western Brittany. Students who successfully complete courses will receive a certificate
from C.I.E.L.-Brest, countersigned by the University of Western Brittany, attesting to the
level, nature and duration of the course. This will provide official recognition by the
University of Western Brittany that the student has satisfactorily completed a program at
C.I.E.L.-Brest. All instructors are carefully selected university graduates. It should be
possible to obtain credit or certification from your home school or accrediting board or
institution. However, you should make sure that your school will give credit before you
enroll, as every school, board, institution, state, etc., has its own rules and
regulations. It is the student's responsibility to make these arrangements; C.I.E.L.-Brest
will provide whatever documentation (transcript of grades, evaluation of student's
performance, attendance record, copies of exams, etc.) that may be required.

Comments from former participants:
"I really learned so much French... and also strengthened what I knew
before. It was a challenging experience for me. I think I was really lucky with the host
family, we would spend hours speaking French over dinner. I also made some good friends
from different countries!" John Hunt - Teacher
