Training Catalogue:
- We offer tailor-made Professional Training Courses from 15h-150h depending on your level, objectives and budget entitlement.
- Please contact us for more information or to receive a quote.
- Our prices depend on the chosen course and your budget entitlement.
Entry requirements:
Students must have achieved the level below the stated level on the CECR scale. For example, to start a B2 course (upper-intermediate) students must have achieved a level B1 (intermediate).
Objectives:
All of our language training programmes aim to improve your level of French in order for you to communicate and work in French more easily. We evaluate and carry out a Needs Analysis before the start of each training course so that the detailed objectives for the training course can be decided in detail.
Length of course:
The number of hours in your course will depend on the budget that you are entitled to. The length of your course will be determined by the number of hours in your course and the rhythm in which you would like to study. For example, it is possible to do a 15h Intensive French course in one week or to do 1h per week of individual lessons for 15 weeks. This is explained in more detail below and our training budget department will work with you to find a suitable course for you.
Admin time:
From the time your first enquiry to the start of your course, you need to allow 4-6 weeks for the training budget application to be processed. It is often possible to start more quickly than this but this depends on the organisation financing your training course
Prices:
Please see below for our various different pricing formulae. If you don’t see a suitable training course, please contact us as we can almost always find a solution!
Teaching Methods:
You can read more about our teaching methods here.
Evaluations:
Before the start of your course, in order to confirm that the course you are embarking on is suitable for you, you will do a pre-course evaluation which will give a starting level.
If you are using your CPF to finance your training course, you will do an official certified CLOE Language Test at the end of your course. For all other students, an informal assessment will be arranged at the end of your course to measure progression if required.
You will receive 2 opportunities to evaluate our services, the first after 5 hours of training and the second at the end of your course.
