French Language

Course Information:

You choose if you do a certificate or do the course for fun. The European language courses are offered through The Regional Open College Network up to level 3. OCR certificates also available. Other languages may not involve studying for a certificate.

Learning a language can lead to the satisfaction of being able to communicate freely which can be of benefit on holiday, or through career opportunities in the rapidly developing international job market. Some examples of careers are as interpreters, translators, teaching, bilingual secretary, sales and clerical work.

Assessment and Accreditation

Continuous practical assessment will take place during the course as well as a portfolio of evidence prepared for external moderation by those people who would like to do the OCN certificate. You might choose to do the OCR certificate in some classes. This will involve a short exam at the end of the course and a charge for the exam entry for full fee learners.
