French lessons in Cardiff
Compare Cardiff French speaking and adult GCSE courses, then describe the level, Welsh school cohort or practical goal you need support with.
A Cardiff speaking course
Cardiff and Vale College lists an L1 part-time Introduction to French - Speaking course at its City Centre Campus from 15 September 2026 to 12 January 2027, for two hours each week. Its outline focuses on basic French for everyday or work topics, with an application and informal interview and no formal qualification requirement. The course is already under way and the page showed a waitlist action on 25 October, so check for a later intake rather than assuming you can join this one.
A separate adult GCSE course in Cardiff
Cardiff and Vale College also lists a part-time French GCSE at its City Centre Campus, from 17:45 to 20:45, from 17 September 2026 to 1 July 2027. Its course page says it prepares learners for the WJEC French GCSE and divides assessment equally across reading, listening, speaking and writing. For adult learners, it lists no formal qualification requirement but says previous French or another foreign language is necessary. This intake had already started by 25 October 2026; the listing does not confirm late entry, a place or a later start date, so check the current timetable before planning around it.
Match school support to the Welsh course
For a school-age learner, share the exact WJEC Made-for-Wales GCSE French specification and cohort. The Wave 1 qualification was first taught from September 2025, and WJEC lists the first French unit assessment opportunities in summer 2027, staged by unit. Match practice to the learner’s own specification and assessment calendar. The college course page names a WJEC GCSE but does not identify its exact specification or cohort, so its class dates are not a school exam timetable.
