How it works
It all starts with understanding the need.
Before building any training, I take the time to understand your context, the members of staff concerned and the situations where they need French.
We talk for 45 minutes, then each participant takes a level test. From all of that, I propose an arrangement that fits the objectives, the levels and your organisation.
The audit is free
The framing conversation and the level assessment
The 45-minute conversation and the level assessment are not charged for.
They let me understand your need and prepare a proposal that fits, with no commitment of any kind.
Payment starts with the training, once the agreement is signed.
The four steps
- 1
Scoping the need with you
A 45-minute conversation to understand the context, the members of staff concerned, the objectives and the organisational constraints.
- 2
Assessing each participant
Each member of staff receives an online test to place their comprehension and expression skills.
- 3
Building a clear map
I set the levels, the needs and the objectives side by side, to work out the most coherent arrangements and groups.
- 4
Proposing the arrangement
You receive a proposal with the objectives, the format, the pace, the number of hours and the rate.
What we try to pin down
Who
How many members of staff are involved, on which sites, and at what starting levels.
For what uses
Taking part in a meeting, understanding a letter, talking with colleagues, handling everyday life in France or preparing for one specific situation.
When
Availability, the pace you want, and any deadlines to take into account.
How
Online or at your offices, one to one, in pairs or in a small group.
The level test
Starting from solid ground.
A declared level gives a first indication, but the assessment places each participant more precisely and lets groups be formed around their level.
The test stays deliberately simple and easy for your staff.
- Sent straight by email, with no account to create.
- Reading and listening comprehension.
- Written expression.
- A short spoken exchange where it helps.
- A CEFR placing, from A1 to C2.
- A summary of the levels is then sent to you.
To build what comes next
- French trainingBuilding a training course around the needs identified.
- OnboardingSupporting a member of staff through their first months in France.
- Level groupsBringing participants together by level and by objective.
- Progress reportsFollowing attendance, the objectives worked on and the progress.
- OPCO and CPF fundingPreparing the paperwork the funding needs.
- Request a quoteReceiving a proposal that fits your organisation.
The audit
Let us start by scoping your need.
Leave me your contact details and the number of members of staff involved. I then propose a few slots for a first 45-minute conversation.
