The advantages of an intensive French course
✓ Progress faster
By practising French several times per week, you improve your speaking, listening, vocabulary and grammar skills much faster than with a standard learning rhythm.
✓ Reach your goals sooner
A personalised learning path can help you master French from as little as 6 months, without losing years in generic courses.
✓ A dynamic rhythm that fits your schedule
Choose the format that works best for you: online French courses, in-school lessons, small-group classes, private lessons or a flexible blended programme.
✓ Prepare for your personal objective
An intensive French course is ideal if you need to reach a goal quickly:
- prepare for a fide, DELF or other official French exam
- improve your French for work in Switzerland

Intensive French courses are designed for adults of all levels, whether you are a complete beginner or already speak French and want to progress faster.
They are especially useful if you need to improve your French quickly for work, integration, a job interview, or an official exam such as fide or DELF.
With 2 to 4 French lessons per week, you benefit from a more immersive learning rhythm that helps you practise more often, build confidence faster and make steady progress.
Depending on your goals and availability, your intensive course can be followed online, in school, in small groups or with private lessons.
Progress depends on your starting level, your objectives and how regularly you study. With consistent learning and an intensive French course plan, many students can progress from A1 to B1/B2 in 6 to 9 months.
With a more regular rhythm, intensive French courses can help you learn French up to 3x faster than a traditional course.
