Which FIDE preparation should I choose?

If you first want to assess your level, start with a mock exam. If you want a complete path, choose the FIDE Pack. If you have limited time or specific weak points, private lessons help build a targeted plan.

Do you really work on real FIDE test scenarios?

Yes. The scenarios are updated through student feedback after students take the exam. The goal is to train you on the themes and situations actually encountered during the FIDE test.

I do not know my level. Where should I start?

You can start with a mock exam to get a clear estimate of your A1, A2 or B1 level. If you prefer guidance, the free consultation helps define your objective and the best preparation plan.

Is the preparation suitable for A1, A2 and B1 levels?

Yes. The preparation covers A1, A2 and B1 goals, with content adapted to the target level and the skills you need to work on. The FIDE Pack and private lessons let you adapt the preparation to your profile.

Is the preparation fully online?

Yes. Mock exams, the FIDE Pack and private lessons can all be done online. You can train from Switzerland or abroad, at your own pace.

How long does it take to prepare for the FIDE test?

It depends on your current level, target level and available time. For a close deadline, a targeted plan with mock exams and private lessons can be more efficient. For broader progress, the FIDE Pack helps you train regularly over several weeks.
