Funding
English and Spanish language training courses may be funded through the CPF or OPCO, subject to the funding provider’s eligibility and coverage requirements. French language training courses may also be offered when the funding program does not require certification.
For funding that requires certification, we offer:
-
CLOE English Certification: RS 6435, CCI France, registration date: 11/15/2023, RS6435 - CLOE English Certification (francecompetences.fr)
-
CLOE Spanish Certification: RS 6437, CCI France, registration date: 11/15/2023, RS6437 - CLOE Spanish Certification (francecompetences.fr)
CLOE certification is required, in particular, for training programs funded through the CPF and may be required by other funding agencies.
When certification is not required, or when the participant does not take the certification exam, a certificate of completion is issued at the end of the training program.
Prerequisites
If your course includes CLOE certification, you must have achieved level A1 (elementary user—introductory or beginner level) of the CEFR upon entering the course.Your level will be assessed prior to the course through an online placement test, an oral test over the phone, or both.For non-certification courses, no prerequisites are required. However, your level will still be assessed beforehand so that the course can be tailored to your needs as effectively as possible.
When can I start?
If lessons are financed with CPF there is an obligatory 11 day wait from the inscription date.
If the project is financed in any other way, we will start your lessons as soon as your/your employee's schedule allows.

Our methods
Deep dive needs analysis:
Each lesson is 100% tailor-made. To do this, we will do a deep dive into the English needs of the student. Asking when, where, why and with whom you need to speak English. What problems they have and why. This, added to the online level test and oral analysis will give us a good base to build a tailor-made program.
Practice makes perfect:
We will focus on the specific needs that we identify during your deep dive analysis. We will do as much oral practice as we can by putting students in situations that will arise in real-life until they are confident in their ability to communicate effectively.
Feedback:
During the speaking practice, our teachers are constantly making notes of mistakes in grammar, pronunciation and syntax and will also give constant feedback on progress by correcting mistakes directly or at the end of the lesson in a 10 minute feedback and correction session.
Extra curricular activities:
We will help as much as we can during our coaching sessions but it is also up to the student to practice between lessons. To help with this, we run multiple free activities each month where students can use what you have learnt with us in real-life situations. Activities include the Pub Night, Book Club, Basketball, Picnics, and more. It is the perfect opportunity to speak, network, laugh and lake friends with other English learners. Learn more here.
