How can the Alliance Française help my business ? Communication is key to building the relationships and trust that lead to successful business. In today's global community, a working knowledge of your business partner's language is a valuable asset.

If you are trading with France or French-speaking markets or researching business opportunities, even a basic level of conversational French will help you build a successful rapport with your French-speaking clients, colleagues or counterparts.
Alliance Française can help with:
- General or specialized French courses at all levels
- Interactive teaching using role play and simulation
- Information on French business culture, business and current affairs
In addition to our native French teachers, our business clients gain free membership to our resource centre, which is well supplied with books, magazines, DVDs/Videos and CDs. This allows students to complement their studies with current information on all aspects of French life, culture and business.
Whether you are taking up the challenge to learn to speak French for the first time, looking to improve your current standard or preparing for diplomas, you will be keen to match your commitment with the highest quality teaching.
Alliance Française provides corporate programs for Canadian and French corporations, Government agencies, and other internationally oriented organizations in Halifax.
Alliance Française instructors can work with your company to develop a French instructional program tailored to your organization's particular linguistic needs through one-on-one tutoring or group lessons.
