Corporate French Language Courses: Face to Face & Online

Enhance Global Communication with Our Tailored French Courses

French is not only a beautiful and culturally rich language but also an asset in today’s global business world. It plays a central role in international communication, especially across Europe, Africa, and Canada which are regions with fast-growing markets. With around 320 million speakers worldwide, French is spoken on five continents and serves as the official language in 29 countries. It is also the 5th most spoken language in the world, after English, Mandarin, Hindi, and Spanish, making it a strategic choice for professionals seeking to strengthen their global connections.

Why is French important for corporate professionals?

  • By 2050, projections suggest that 700+ million people may speak French, largely driven by population growth in Africa. For corporate leaders, this means French will be a gateway to future emerging markets.
  • Being able to communicate in French opens opportunities in multinational corporations, diplomacy, law, international NGOs and trade.
  • Many global companies (e.g. in luxury goods, automotive, aerospace, energy and banking) have headquarters in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. Learn more about French here.

Why Babel?

All our French courses are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the international standard for describing language ability. The CEFR defines six levels of proficiency, from beginner (A1) through to advanced (C2), providing a clear structure and set of learning outcomes for each stage of progress.

At the start of every programme, we assess each learner’s entry point against the CEFR scale through a needs assessment, and we measure their exit point at the end of training. This ensures that learning goals are clearly defined, progress is transparent, and participants can see measurable improvement in their language skills.

Read how one client commissioned Babel to coach their graduates over an 8-month period to go from beginners to a B1 Intermediate Level (equivalent of a good ‘AS’ Level), with an ability to deal with most situations when they travel to France.

"The Skype lessons are interesting – they are definitely more difficult as they aren’t in person, but this is good practice for speaking on the phone and additionally it makes my face to face lessons in the office easier. "
