French Training Budgets for Inter-season and Summer French Courses

Want to take a French Course in Inter-season or Summer using a Training Budget? Then now is the time to apply! Many people don’t realise that they qualifty for a training budget to cover the cost of their French courses and if they do, they don’t really understand how they work….

In order to qualify, you either have to:

Have your own French business
Be an auto-entrepreneur
Be employed on a French contract
Have been employed on a French contract and be on the French unemployment system

If you fall into one of these categories, then you should be able to get your French Course paid for! It is worth bearing in mind that you need to apply for a training budget at least 30 days before the start of any French Course that you wish to start.

Depending on the Training Budget Organisation that you are affiliated to, you may be entitled to one of the following options:

Weekly Group French Courses
Intensive French Courses
One-to-One French Course (often combined with our great new e-learning platform)

Employers

You can apply for your staff who are employed on French contracts and it doesn’t cost you a penny to provide a course of French lessons for them. They have to start their course while they are under contract but can continue lessons into the inter-season period. In fact as an employer in France, you are supposed to offer ongoing professional training for your staff and this is why there are grants in place to help you do this. The training budget organisations pay Alpine French School directly for the French courses taken by your staff so you don’t even have to pay first and get refunded J
