The Welcome Office has designed a multi-resource and accelerated learning (learning in context) approach which includes a personalized training program, whatever your level in French.
Based on a Training Needs Analysis questionnaire, you will be evaluated on your oral and written skills.
Thanks to their experience, our trainers know how difficult it is for expatriates to feel comfortable in a foreign language, and will help you set the linguistic objectives you want to reach by the end of your training course. You will therefore have a “tailor-made” training program.
A special commitment is made to absolute beginners. Our aim is to help them reach a level sufficient to:
1.Understand simple sentences and everyday expressions to meet basic needs
2. Understand simple questions and instructions
3. Introduce oneself and socialize on a basic level
4. Ask for simple information
5. Answer and ask simple questions
This is equivalent to the A1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Until this level is reached, the whole training package is free of charge (see table below). We also provide assistance in preparing official French language examinations.
