For exam success. Detailed information
The DELF /DALF Diplomas from the French Education Ministry are internationally recognized as reliable certification of French language proficiency. The business French Diplomas CFP / DFA set by the Paris Chamber of Commerce (CCIP) are increasingly demanded by companies as proof of language competence at work. Having one of these certificates or diplomas significantly improves your chances in the local job market. Primarily though, these examination preparation courses motivate you to be more disciplined and to work harder on improving your French. This means you make more progress faster!
TLC has successfully prepared students for these French Language Examinations for over 10 years. Our excellent exam results reflect the high quality of our courses. At TLC you will get a motivating and efficient course and - with some hard work on your part - success in gaining your diploma. Before registration time, the courses include a mock exam - a rehearsal of all the papers - to check if you are ready to enrol. This builds your confidence or, alternatively, motivates you to work harder.

One-to-one and two-to one training is the ideal form of language tuition if you have very specific needs, very limited time or you require flexibility either because you are so busy or away a lot and so cannot regularly attend a group course. Content and tuition are customized to suit your needs so you really do make faster progress. Naturally this requires effort on your part and most importantly, frequent lessions. If you are are travelling, we recommend e-mail, Skype- or e-learning lessons.
Editing / Coaching
This is the ideal training if you need to write a lot for work. You can send your text to be corrected by your trainer within the time you agree, eg. 24 hours. So that you really learn to write better, we follow up with coaching either personally or e-mail or Skype. Here we explain the problems, give you remedial help and then train you step by step to avoid your typical mistakes and self-correct.
Presentation or Interview Practice
Do you have an important presentation coming up and you would like to rehearse it with a trainer, make sure all your slides are correct and to practice answering questions from the audience? One of our business trainers would be happy to help you.
We do the same as pre-interview practice sessions - face to face or on Skype.
