Professional language courses
It can be difficult to express yourself in everyday business situations if you do not have a good command of the specifics required in the target language.
It is possible to learn a language that is geared to the specific needs of your professional sector. We help you to acquire new language so that your future presentations and discussions with your clients are clear and precise.
Step-by-step, you gain autonomy and perform better in the use of the language you have learned.

We offer tailor-made courses to prepare for exams aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference, at all levels in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Russian.
During these courses, we regularly conduct mock examinations and fine-tune with future candidates to maximise their chances of success.
Your success is important to us: if we feel that a candidate is not ready to take the exam, we will advise them to register for the relevant exam.
