Professional French Courses
You can rest assured that we will meet your goals in a cost-effective manner through a highly personalised and agile service at Language Services Direct.
When you get in touch with us, one of our team will contact you to discuss your learners’ purpose for learning French, any other details or requirements of your course, and to arrange an assessment of the learners’ ability.
Once we have an initial idea of your needs, the best Account Manager will be chosen to become your single point of contact. Your French course will then be handled entirely by that person and the process from here onwards becomes very simple for you.
Your Account Manager will perform a search through our very extensive database to locate a French tutor that meets your needs.
We are very specific about teacher’s skills here according to your learners’ requirements. For example, if your staff were preparing to be more involved in negotiation in French, then that specific skill of negotiation training is what we will look for in the teacher. We would most likely also be finding a teacher that has experience in your industry.
Collaboration with the teacher and your Account Manager then happens so that a French course is built that meets the needs you specified. The teacher’s experience with optimising learning business French, along with the Account Manager’s experience with organising French lessons means that they will craft a highly effective course for you.
Your course structure will then be communicated in a concise manner to you through your Account Manager so you are kept in the loop, but do not have to spend too much time sifting through extensive documents or making lots of decisions.
The Account Manager will stay attentive during the French course. Any questions that come up can be made to them at any time, and progress will be monitored at regular intervals. If the learner’s HR or L&D department managers require any sort of particular details or progress information, your Account Manager will ensure clear reports are sent through at whatever frequency is desired.
This step is one we pay particular attention to, and the reason in two-fold. Firstly, return on investment has to be made clear to you if this course is going to make any sense for your company. Secondly, the learners’ need to actually be satisfied with what they are learning and how they are learning it, so we need to make sure they are constantly able to give any feedback.
We know we are not the only providers of French language training, and that you are probably shopping around to figure out which is ideal for your company.
