French-language requirement
French-taught programmes in France require proof of French for non-francophone applicants. This is set France-wide through the Campus France / «Études en France» procedure — not course by course. For first-year undergraduate (Licence) study, the level commonly sits around B2, set through the DAP / «Études en France» procedure. The exact level for this BTS programme is decided by the establishment; accepted proof includes the TCF or TEF, or a DELF / DALF diploma. Confirm the requirement with the establishment and Campus France before you apply.
Applying from Switzerland
From Switzerland there is no «Études en France» pre-procedure. You apply directly to the establishment (or through the DAP procedure for first-year undergraduate), and once admitted you request your student visa at the French consulate or embassy serving Switzerland. Your French proof (TCF / TEF, or DELF / DALF) goes to the establishment at the level it requires.
