If you are a new student at the Maison de l'amitié for the language you want to study
If you have already taken a course at the Maison de l'amitié in the same language* that you want to study now :
NOTE: normally "on the waiting list" means that you were invited to a registration appointment last session (or the one before) and that we communicated directly with you about "priority waiting list" status during the appointment. If this is not the case, and you have only completed a pre-registration form with no follow-up, you will have to go through the "New Students" process again this time.
If you've been on the priority waiting list in the last 4 months:
1. Fill out an online pre-registration form starting Monday, August 26th.
We will process your application within the week that follows.
It is strongly recommended that you fill out the form before August 28th to keep your priority as a former student.
It will still be possible to register after this date, but space will become more limited.
2. After validation, we will send you a link for making the online payment.
Please make your payment by September 16th to hold your spot.
3. You will receive the final confirmation and all details about your course by email in the days that follow.
Please note: it is recommended that you complete the registration process using a PC or laptop; sometimes there are problems with the mobile version of the site.

Come back here to pre-register starting August 26th!
*NOTE: If you wish to change your language of study (and have not yet taken one of our courses in the other language), you will need to follow the process for "New Students".
Come back here to pre-register starting April 25.
The form should be available around 4:30pm today. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you are a new student at the Maison de l'amitié for the language you want to study :
1. Take the online written placement test - if you haven't already done so within the last 4 months. This test is your entry point into our system, so all new students must take this test – beginners included – before proceeding to the next steps.
— The test will be available starting July 28th around 5:30pm —
Un lien vers le test se trouve à la fin de cette page.

If you wish to enter the Septembre 2024 session, and have already taken the placement test within the last 4 months:

You will have two options:

Attend a registration appointment on Zoom, during fixed time slots, -OR-
-
Drop in at reception at any time during our opening hours (starting September 16th).
In rare cases, if there is no space in the schedule that suits you, you will be placed on the waiting list, without having to pay, until a space opens up, either later in the same session, or at the next one.
