Courses
The training consists of two courses at each level. Students must pass both courses to move to the next level.
Please note that the content of all our courses is exclusively in French and focuses on the approach to health care professionals.
- Virtual face-to-face courses (synchronous mode) are delivered by a teacher on a fixed date, at a specific time, three hours per week, for a period of 8 weeks. These courses focus on oral communication.
- Self-directed online courses听(asynchronous mode) are divided into 4 modules spread out over an 8-week period. Each module lasts approximately two weeks and consists in structured learning units that allow students to work independently (lessons, exercises, pronunciation, listening, reference material, etc.) and to communicate with a tutor.
