Programme options: how the training fits a working schedule
Business french lessons here are built like the rest of a professional’s calendar: recurring slots that survive real weeks (early morning, lunch, evening — any timezone), 30 to 60-minute formats, and a programme tailored to your industry rather than a fixed business french course everyone marches through. The language training runs on your real materials — the email thread you need to answer, the meeting you’re preparing, the presentation vocabulary of YOUR field — because business communication is learned fastest inside its own context. Tracks scale from false-beginner French for beginners with professional urgency, through intermediate business language consolidation, to executive coaching where the grammar is long solved and the work is register, negotiation and nuance. Exam and certification preparation (DFP business french, DELF pro) slots into the same lessons when a credential matters, and intensive french sprints — daily sessions for two or three weeks — exist for deadlines like a posting to Paris. Every learner starts the same way: a free trial lesson that doubles as a needs analysis, so the french language training plan is drawn before any pack is bought — grammar included where it serves the job, comprehension and speaking drills where they serve the meeting.
