French for professional use

COURSES FOR LOCAL COMPANIES

1. One to one telephone classes

Ideal for those with hectic timetables who seek rapid progress and increased confidence in communication skills. At pre-arranged times, from 1 to 5 days a week, you are reached by your teacher for 20 to 30mn per session, even if you are located in a remote location.
Not suitable for elementary levels.

Dates and fees


2. One to one or small group tuition

These 1h30 sessions are designed to provide students with specific language skills related to their needs, either general or professional. The individual classes are totally suited to the needs of one person. The in-company group classes offer the benefits to exchange ideas and work with colleagues on problems with the same language needs and objectives.

The classes can be mixed with telephone courses. The course duration is completely flexible. It depends on the level, objectives and availability of the students. This is defined during the needs analysis carried out at the same time as the level assessment.

Dates and fees


3. One or one or semi-individual conversation over lunch classes

Have lunch or dinner in the famous restaurant La Licorne just opposite your teacher's home whilst indulging in active conversation in a wide variety of situations : professional, cultural, social, technical… parler à bâtons rompus… You will therefore acquire a wide range of expressions which you will use in your international meetings and trips.
Not suitable for elementary levels.

HOW IT WORKS : 3 stages

Step 1 : A needs analysis is carried out consisting of an oral conversation with your teacher (either face to face or by phone) including questions about your company and personal goals, desired proficiency in different skills and situations and planning availability. The analysis includes your level assessment, conducted entirely in French if your level allows it. You will also be given a written test.

Step 2 : You will receive a quote with the details of the programme best suited to your needs.

Step 3 : Language training begins in seminar-rooms provided by Parfum de France, in groups or one-to-one. You are invited to provide samples of your work documents which are a precious material in class.

All the administrative documents needed by your company are provided as well as lesson reports.
