English

For 40 years, La Cité Language School has offered language training in Canada's two official languages. We train employees of federal and provincial governments, crown corporations and private companies.

With the dual objective of improving personal skills and obtaining or renewing a linguistic profile awarded by the Public Service Commission, we mainly use the French as a second language program (PFL2) levels A, B and C for training in French and the Communicative English at Work Program (CEWP) AB (Interface Canada) and C (Interaction Canada) for training in English.

If your organization has developed its own program, our experienced teachers will adapt to your professional reality. We can also offer you alternative methods to ensure that we meet all your needs.

Group Training

We establish groups of 2 to 10 learners in order to maintain a reasonable speaking time for each learner. This training can be given full-time or part-time depending on the availability of the group and the objectives defined by the organization and by the learners themselves. Group training can be given at our offices in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, in major Canadian cities or at your premises.

Thanks to a classification test system, we form homogeneous groups to maximize your chances of success.The duration of the training is pre-established according to the starting level and the linguistic objective to be achieved.

Individual Training

Individual training is tailored to the specific needs of each learner. This can mean a full-time or part-time schedule, with a single teacher or a team of complementary teachers. 

Supported by a pedagogical advisor, our teachers take into account their learners' workplace needs, their personal needs, their second language skills and their pace of learning in order to set up a personalized program to maximize chances of success.

Individual training can be given at our offices in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, in major Canadian cities or at your premises.

The duration of your training will depend on:

• your current skills,

• the time you can devote to your training,

• your risk-taking in learning,

• your ability to practice your second language outside the classroom,

• your motivation and commitment to your learning.

We evaluate all new candidates in order to define the best entry point into the program.
