Courses last 6 weeks and offer synchronous and asynchronous content through classroom teaching and conversation practice combined with self-directed activities. Expert-level workshops last 4 weeks and also offer a synchronous and asynchronous experience.
Delivered by an academic team experienced in corporate francization, these courses and workshops are offered virtually.
Classes are held at the same time each week and are generally scheduled during the day or evening on weekdays. They take place in a live virtual meeting room where learners and course lecturers communicate using voice and video.
There are usually two sessions per academic term (except in Spring), and course offerings will depend on each session. Here is the schedule for the upcoming academic year:

Placement Test
All new participants must write a French Placement Test to evaluate their proficiency in order to be placed into the appropriate level. Students can take the test once per session and the results are valid for one year.
When your test result is ready, we will notify you by email and provide instructions on how to view them. Course registration can be done online by clicking on the links included in the test result email.
Beginner-Level Participants
If you are a beginner student with no or very little background in French, you can fill out a waiver form to be exempted from the Placement Test.
Students who submit a waiver form will be placed in Level 1: First Contact in French.
