French for Beginners
The French for Beginners course is designed for you if you have little or no experience of learning the French language, or you need to refresh your basic language skills.
Whilst on this course you will build your knowledge and understanding of vocabulary and grammar and develop your communication skills for practical purposes.
This course is especially appropriate for primary school teachers who are now required to teach French in class, following the 2014 curriculum changes that made language-learning compulsory for all children between seven and 11.
Please note: this course is not suitable for international students requiring a short term student visitor visa.
Beginners 1 and 2
We offer a beginners 1 course in September 2026 and beginners 2 in February 2027.
You must do the September course before you can take the February beginners course.
The February course is a natural progression of the September one, and will allow you to continue to develop your skills and build upon your learnings from it.
