Why Berlitz French works — from day one
Unlike traditional classes or language apps, Berlitz puts you in real French conversations with a live instructor immediately. No translation. No rote drilling. Just French — from your very first online session, wherever you are in the GTA. No commute required.
Free French placement test
Your free 20-minute online placement test pinpoints your exact French level — A1 to C2. No time wasted on things you already know. Your programme starts at exactly the right place — whether you're in Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Vaughan, or Richmond Hill, and whether you're a complete beginner or returning learner.
A French plan built for your goals
Immigration points? Federal SLE or TEF Canada exam? Career advancement in a bilingual role? Bill 96 compliance deadline? Your Berlitz advisor designs a custom French learning path around your specific outcome and timeline — private 1-on-1, small group, or intensive formats available, all online from home.

Talk to an advisor
I needed French for a federal position and had six months to get to B2. Driving into Toronto for evening classes after work wasn't realistic from Mississauga. With Berlitz online I did every session from my home office. Fourteen weeks later I passed my SLE. No commute. No excuses left.

Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes across the GTA. Berlitz Canada has over 50 years of experience preparing federal employees for the SLE.

With our intensive online programme (multiple sessions per day), most students reach working A2 in 3–4 weeks and conversational B1 within 8–10 weeks. With regular online sessions (approx. 4 h/week), A2 typically takes 10–12 weeks and B1 around 20–25 weeks. Private one-on-one sessions can significantly cut these timelines. Your advisor will give you a realistic estimate based on your starting level and goals.
