Our programs target verbal and written communication through real-life scenarios for better engagement with partners, clients, and executives.
Three ways to deliver training
We meet your team where they are.
-
We come to your office or invite your team to our Toronto location. In-person sessions work well for teams that benefit from group dynamics, hands-on practice, and the focus that comes from being in a dedicated learning environment.
-
Live online sessions taught by your assigned French Educational Specialist. Sessions run on a schedule that fits your team's calendar, with the same structured curriculum and personalized feedback as in-person training. Ideal for distributed teams or organizations with limited in-person time.
-
Your team accesses a structured French curriculum through our online learning platform. Modules unlock on a schedule you choose, learners progress at their own pace, and homework submissions are reviewed by our team. Best suited for organizations that want to give staff flexible learning options without sacrificing structure.
A simple, professional engagement process.
Step 1: Free consultation
We start with a discovery call. You tell us about your team, your industry, your timeline, and the outcome you need.
We listen, ask questions, and confirm whether we are the right fit.
Step 2: Proposal and quote
We send a tailored proposal that outlines program structure, schedule, format, expected outcomes, and pricing. Pricing varies based on team size, format, schedule, and program duration.
Step 3: Onboarding
Once your contract is signed and the program is funded,
we will onboard your team. Each learner receives a welcome email, access to their learning platform if applicable, and a clear roadmap for the program ahead.
Step 4: Delivery & progress tracking
Your assigned French Educational Specialist delivers the program on schedule. The program is made up of modules
(4 h per week is a 4-week module; 2 h per week is an 8-week module). At the end of each module, students receive an oral and written evaluation, and each candidate receives their feedback- report/ the coordinator receives the attendance report and each student’s feedback report.

Specific attendance terms are outlined in the corporate training agreement.
Generally, if an employee is unable to attend a class, the lesson materials, activities, and resources covered during the session will still be shared with them so they can review what they missed.
If they have questions after reviewing the material, they are welcome to:
discuss the material in person during the next class;
contact us by email.
Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for employees to stay on track after an absence while maintaining the regular class schedule for the rest of the group.

level of customization;
type of progress tracking or support required.
Contact us to receive a proposal tailored to your organization.

Organizations can have very different training needs. A program for four beginner employees meeting once per week does not require the same structure as a program involving multiple groups, different proficiency levels, and several locations.

Progress tracking;
location for in-person training.
