Welcome to EPFC!

• It is not possible to make multiple appointments. Make sure you click on the right link.
• Appointments are distributed on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, please log on to the EPFC website as soon as possible at the announced appointment time in order to increase your chances of getting a place in the desired course.
• An appointment is not a promise of registration. Classes for some courses fill up very quickly. We recommend that you make an appointment as soon as possible at the beginning of the enrolment campaign in order to increase your chances of obtaining a place on the desired course.
• This is not an individual appointment. Several people can make an appointment at the same time. The length of your appointment will depend on the steps you take and those of the students before you.
  The average duration of the process (reception, level test(s), registration, verification, payment) is 2 hours.
  Make sure you arrive on time and choose an appointment time that allows you maximum flexibility.
• For French and English courses, assessment tests are organised on site. The tests and registration are done on the same day. Please allow between 2 and 3 hours on site.
