FSL

French as a Second Language (FSL) is for those who would like to learn French or improve their French. We offer four levels of training. The fee for these courses covers our costs as this service is not covered under our ministry funding.

This program provides theoretical and practical training in French as a Second Language which allows you to acquire the written and oral skills necessary for your personal and professional development. Our four-level program is designed to meet your needs. Each course is designed for you to learn French quickly, regardless of your level. The levels provide you with an easy building block approach to learning.
