Le Centre offers Beginners 1, 2, 3, Intermediate 1, 2, and Advanced French as a Second Language classes.

 

4 Sessions: Fall (September), Winter (January), Spring (April), Summer (intensive - July).

 

Sessions are comprised of either 8 or 10 courses (depending on which semester you register for), with each being 2 hours in duration.

 

Classes are held once a week in the evenings at Le Centre (no classes on weekends).

 

During the intensive summer session, classes are held twice a week.

 

Free mandatory level assessments are held two or three weeks prior to each session, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. These verbal level assessments generally last between 5 and 10 minutes (waiting time before test not included in estimate).

​

Level assessments are also available over the phone by one of our teachers, however, a $10.00 administration fee will be charged prior to taking the assessment.

 

If it is your first time with us, or if it has been over a year since your last registration, please come by for a level assessment or give us a call for more information at 604.736.9806.

 

If you attended one of our courses in the past year, you can register in person or by phone as soon as registration opens.

Assessment level

 

If it is your first time taking French classes with us, or if it has been over a year, a level assessment before registering is required. We want to make sure that you will be registered in the course level that best suits you.

For each session, we offer two registration evenings with a free level assessment. If you miss it, you have the possibility to do it over the phone with one of our instructors.
