This course is intended for government workers and people with an interest in the public sector who wish to enhance their oral and written skills, build on their technical vocabulary, and improve their communication skills in French. Through a range of interactive activities, learners will acquire context-specific government terminology to effectively conduct routine business in a range of government settings.

NOTE: Language is the principal focus of this course. Prior experience or professional knowledge in the field is not necessary. 

This course is intended for students who are able to communicate at an intermediate level in French (equivalent to DELF B1 as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). This course is not intended for fluent French speakers. If you are uncertain of your level of French, we strongly recommend that you take French Studies’ online Placement Test. Since the language-learning background of each student is unique, the French Placement Test is the best way of ensuring that you enrol in the course that best suits your current skill level.
