Learn French for your career.

Not at all. We work with professionals at all levels — from those starting from scratch (A1) to those who already have functional French and want to reach professional fluency (B2/C1). During your free consultation, your Berlitz advisor assesses your current level through conversation and builds a programme that starts exactly where you are, with a realistic timeline toward your career goal.

Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes across Canada. We offer targeted preparation for TEF Canada, TEFAQ, federal public service language evaluations (reading, writing, and oral interaction), and Bill 96 workplace compliance requirements. Your instructor knows the evaluation formats and criteria inside out, and focuses specifically on the areas that will move your score. Available entirely online, from any province.

It depends on your starting level and your goal. With private intensive online sessions, most professionals move one CEFR level (e.g. A2 to B1, or B1 to B2) in 10–14 weeks. With regular sessions of 3–4 hours per week alongside work, the same progress typically takes 20–28 weeks. Your advisor will give you a realistic, honest timeline during your free consultation — based on your starting point, your goal, and your availability.

Yes — flexibility is one of the key reasons professionals choose Berlitz online. Sessions are available early mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and can be booked around your existing commitments. Because everything is live online, there's no commute and no fixed classroom schedule. Your advisor will help you design a session rhythm that makes consistent progress without disrupting your working week.

100% free and with no commitment. A Berlitz advisor — a real person, not a chatbot — will contact you within 1 business day. In a 20-minute call, they'll discuss your current French level, your career goals, your timeline, and your schedule. They'll recommend the right format, pace, and programme for your situation. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.

Possibly. Berlitz Canada is a recognised training provider and many employers — particularly in the federal public service, financial services, and regulated industries — include language training in their professional development budgets. Services Québec and MIFI funding may also apply depending on your situation. Your advisor can help you understand which options are available and how to approach your employer about covering the cost.

Yes — and it's one of our strongest programmes. Berlitz Canada has been preparing federal government employees for the Second Language Evaluation for over 50 years, making us the most experienced SLE preparation provider in the country. We offer comprehensive training for all three components — oral proficiency, written expression, and reading comprehension — with mock tests that simulate real SLE conditions. Programmes are customised to your required level (A, B, or C) and delivered entirely online, from any province. Your advisor will build a realistic timeline around your evaluation date.
