French courses are offered by many language schools in Switzerland and abroad, so it's not always easy to choose the right school and the right course from all those on offer. To make your search for French courses easier, we have written a guide that goes into detail on the subject of choosing a school. You can find it in the navigation bar under the heading "Education help" above and you can download it free of charge. Here are some tips on how to search for French courses:

• Select a course type (Standard / Intensive / Language trip /...) and click on it
• Use the map on the right next to the providers to find schools near you
• Select some interesting providers and ask them to send you free and non-binding documents about French courses
• Compare the offers carefully and pay attention to the following points, among others:
• Proximity to your home / workplace
• Connection, parking spaces
• Course offers
• Days and times of the courses
• Course duration
• Number and duration of lessons per course and week
• Course materials and teaching methods
• Contents and course objectives
• Degrees and examinations
• Admission requirements and target group
• Costs and inclusive services
• Group size
• Placement tests

People show interest in private German courses and coaching for various reasons, as a survey by Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch shows:

• 50% check whether the course meets their own needs
• 50% on the basis of a recommendation
• none, as required for the job (mentioned in job offers)

One free text response mentions another point: "check suitable offers for my clients".

However, a distinction can also be made according to the specific activities within a company. For example, you can send some of your employees to special telephone training courses to train oral communication in French and train your management staff in negotiating and concluding contracts. The topics are wide-ranging and are set by you or the person responsible at your company. And not only in terms of content, but also in terms of time and location. After all, you decide whether you want to train your employees in French courses in just four weeks or over the course of a year and whether this should take place on your company's premises, in the provider's seminar rooms, in a conference hotel or perhaps even via an online course. Company courses for French and any other foreign language are therefore extremely flexible and individual, so that they can be adapted to your wishes and the level of knowledge of your employees.
