Many professionals face long, frustrating journeys to bilingualism in the federal context.
Traditional programs often take hundreds of hours with rigid methods — but our approach delivers steady, noticeable results while treating adults with respect and flexibility.

The Reality of FSL & SLE Training

French as a Second Language (FSL) training for Government of Canada employees involves preparing for the Second Language Evaluation (SLE) tests: Written Comprehension, Written Expression, and Oral Proficiency.

Levels range from A (basic) to C (advanced/exempt) — with C being highly valued for career advancement.

Many programs rely on slow immersion and generic curriculum, often requiring extended timelines.

Why Many Programs Take Longer

Extended timelines (often 300+ hours quoted for Level C)
One-size-fits-all methods that overlook individual strengths
Limited use of English explanations when clarity would help
High costs with minimum hour requirements
Environments that can feel stressful rather than supportive
