Programmes
The training programmes are focused on the specific needs of the clients and based on our methodology. Our classes are not classical or traditional French classes. They are tailored to the specific needs of our clients and designed to help them achieve in record time specific objectives previously defined. Our goal is to make sure that our clients are able to handle in French all the situations that they may live or already live in their different day-to-day tasks.

What do we offer?

- Individualised training programmes
- Technical business French classes
We offer the possibility to organise the learning experience into modules. Each module has specific learning objectives, which allows to sequence the learning process.
What is the classes format?
We adapt the format to the needs of the clients and companies. The most common formats are:
- One to one or group: We usually recommend individual classes, because they are more effective and personalised, and also small groups.
- Intensive or throughout a defined period: Depending on the needs of our clients and the time that can be dedicated to the learning process, we offer different ways to sequence the classes. Programmes can be very short and last only a few days, e.g. a preparation for an oral presentation, or last one year.
- The learning process is based on simulations and role-playing: We prepare and encourage our clients to practice real and relevant business situations that they may live using mainly key words and expressions, and other tools such as videos, articles, etc. The objective is to make our clients ready for the “d” day so that they can communicate with impact in French.
Programme location and class duration?
Location
- On-site at the client’s firm
- Online using WebEx or Skype, etc.
Duración
- 1 hour or 1 hour ½
- Once or twice a week, or more if it is an intensive programme
The experience we have with our clients confirms that the second option, i.e. 1 hour ½, is more effective and is usually the best option to improve and master business communication in French. The more you practice in a short period of time with our method, the more you will learn in record time.
