Speakeasy: communication skills for work

I don't have a CPF budget: how can I pay for this programme?

You have several choices:

1. You can ask your company to pay for your training. We are a recognised training centre by the French government and your company may have a training budget available.
2. If you are independent, you will have another training fund. Please contact us and we can help you make the request to your OPCO.
3. You can also pay for the programme yourself. We have installment plans. Please complete the sign up form and we will send you a payment link.

I don't know what my English level is

Don't worry, we can help you. Sign up for a free consultation here and we will see if your level is right for the training.

I'm a beginner. Can I do this training?

No, thjs programme is only for people who are B1- and above. If you would like to do another training, I suggest our individual coaching programme to improve your current level.

If I'm in a group with other French people, won't I just learn more French mistakes?

No! You'll be working with a trainer who is not a native French speaker, who will be able to identify and correct those typical "French" mistakes. In the Fluency Club and Confident Conference Calls trainings, you'll also have the opportunity to practise with "real" English speakers from all over the world!

Who is this training for?

This training programme is for anyone who speaks English at work and wants to work on specific communication skills that you use in your job:

• Having conversations about different topics with colleagues or clients
• Listening to or participating in online meetings with international colleagues, clients or partners
• Presenting, both formally and informally

What happens if I miss a session?

There are no make-up sessions but all the materials and recordings will be available on our platform, Padlet. You will have access to these even if you miss a session. We do have a break for school holidays or if the majority of the participants are going to be absent.

I don't want to sign up now. Can I sign up later in the year?

We may open fluency club subscriptions for January - June, but it is not sure. Confident Conference Calls and Powerful Presentation Skills will only run once in 2021 - 2022. Places are limited because I want to give you the best and most personalised experience.
