Level 6 English for a French PPL in the UK
Does anyone know how a French PPL can do an EASA approved Level 6 English language test for non-commercial PPL use in the UK, preferably near Exeter?

Although EASA requires Language Proficiency to be entered on to
a Licence, they left how that proficiency should be assessed to the
Competent Authorities.
As you have a French PPL you would need an English Language
Proficiency assessment which would be accepted by the French CAA.
Check what their requirements are before undertaking an assessment
in the UK.

No, French native speakers.
I'm returning a favour to the Paris flying club, who want to take advantage of a recent French rule change that allows them to visit England to get there Level 6 English qualification. Here's what my French chums think is the situation (DGAC I think is the French CAA):
"I spoke with a representative from the DGAC. All we need, as simple PPL, is a british FE/TRE that give us the level we deserve, and then we can apply it to our PPL license. As long its a FE/TRE, we dont need to go thru a FTO.
Let me know if you find locally a FE/TRE."
Level 6 is attractive to a French PPL I think because it's a lifetime qualification to fly outside of France.
The trouble is, I haven't found an instructor here so far who's ready and willing to do the test.
