Overview
Practice makes perfect so imagine what using your French everyday for a week could do!
The Avancée Intensive Courses are designed to help students engage with the language each day for five days, thereby helping the memory. The other half of the day, you’re free to go and practise outside of the classroom and have fun in our beautiful Vallée du Giffre.
Intensive courses work just as well for holiday makers who want to add a cultural aspect to their holiday in France, as for local residents who like to assign a particular time in the year to focus on improving their skills.
The contents vary each week and Avancée Teachers break the week down by mixing speaking tasks with listening, reading, cultural insights and writing – when requested. Time flies in our classrooms!
How Does it Work?
- Lessons planned around your needs
The 1st part of Day 1 typically focuses on getting to know each other and fixing common objectives for the week. - Varied lesson topics
We work to make learning fun, that means using a wide range of subjects to study and discuss. Contents are constantly updated. - Small same level groups
Our group courses start from 3 participants! Each Avancée student completes a language assessment prior to the course. We ensure our students are placed in the right group so that the pace is right. - Access to self-study e-learning platform
All our courses include unlimited access to our interactive e-learning platform, so you can practice and review between sessions. - Avancée Intensive Courses and Training Budgets
You may be able to finance your course via a government training scheme if you work for a French company, or run your own French registered business, including micro/auto-entrepreneurs. Find out about training budgets here.

Reviews
Very good training center, adapts perfectly to our needs. The course materials are diverse and varied, some exercises to do at home. The classrooms are spacious and very pleasant.
My teacher (Jennifer) quickly made me feel comfortable discussing in English, she gives me confidence, we feel “almost bilingual” from the first session!
I recommend 100%. Don't hesitate to contact them!
Thank you Bonnie and Jennifer
Bonnie was able to understand and document herself to make the training concrete on my theme.
In addition, the school has done the majority of the paperwork to enable the classes to be fully funded through a URSSAF training grant - amazing!
Onto the lessons themselves - I was lucky to have a good teacher and engaged class so I felt I progressed really well. The teacher encouraged interaction and so it felt more like a discussion than too much "chalk and talk". I also did some 1:1s which put me a little out of my comfort zone but allowed me to work on elements I specifically needed. I am now confident that I am working towards the level needed to work in French which was the aim of the sessions. Thank you Alpine French School for your lessons!
