I'm not sure what you mean by the French CMAS. CMAS is a French organisation to start with and I'm not familiar with SFEFFM. Doesn't matter though.
My understanding is that CMAS does indeed have a 4 star system. What exactly the 4 star means I'm not sure because you don't become a 4 star diver through taking a course as you would for 1, 2 or 3 star. A 4 star diver is a grading given to divers of above average experience. I think it is only awarded on nomination basis but I could be wrong.
Here is the Standards and Requirements document from the CMAS website.
Here are two quotes from the document regarding a 4 star diver:
"A three star diver who has attained a higher than average level of knowledge and ability supported by broad experience. He will be competent to use divers and diving to achieve major tasks or project objectives."
and
"It is not considered that this level will be reached following a course of fixed content, but rather as the result of experience acquired over an extended period and incorporating a broad range of conditions and requirements."
Hope that answers your question.
*** EDIT ***
Jeepers, seems a number of posts have been made while I typed this one which answered your question better. Seems FFESSM was one of the founding members of CMAS (whatever that means). Ouch, now my head hurts.
