Professional French courses
Professional French for French companies
In France, every employer is legally obliged to contribute to professional training. These contributions are paid to OPCOs — the funds are intended for training employees.
If you are an employee, you can have your French lessons paid without even giving your manager the information — the only conditions are to take your lessons in your free time and to have been working in France for at least a year.
