YOUR IDEAL LANGUAGE LEARNING MIX

About French for nursing staff.

Delivering good care starts with a proper conversation. You want to reassure your patients, give them clear information about their state of health and ask them the right questions in order to make the correct diagnosis.

You want your patients to feel they are in safe, capable hands. But how do you do that when they don’t speak the same language as you?

Could this be for you?

You already have command of French to an intermediary level. That means you already speak French reasonably effortlessly in familiar situations. You are a nurse in a hospital or assisted living centre. You want to be able to hold conversations in French, and give patients advice, confidence, reassurance and support. If you aim to lend an ear, it is important that you understand what the patient is saying so that you can take the appropriate action.

This course was developed for and by medical staff. That means you will learn precisely those skills you need to do your job well.

Customised e-learning?

Absolutely! The course includes an e-learning platform with a wealth of information in addition to the hours with the trainer. The platform is designed specifically for medical professionals. You can use it to practice on your own between lessons. In the lessons themselves, we also pay a lot of attention to practice and speaking.

You don’t just learn lists of words, you learn how to use those words correctly in sentences. This course is about more than just general medical language use.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients, trainers and trainees say.

As a Happiness Officer at X2O my responsibilities include finding the right training solutions for my colleagues. As X2O is currently rapidly expanding in Belgium and abroad, I contacted BLCC to help me organise language courses via Cevora. I decided to take a French course myself too, since I haven't used French in my career over the past years, which makes it difficult to communicate with my French-speaking employees. My training went very well. My teacher really makes an effort to understand my professional context and to support me in how to deal with specific cases in French.

Finding the right training solutions for the growing team of X2O

I was looking for a course that focused on speaking, in the sales context rather than general speaking skills. BLCC listened perfectly to my specific requirements. The trainer was very knowledgeable.

A language course that focused on speaking.

I have regular lessons via Skype and I’m already reaping benefits from those lessons. I recently advanced one level. My French has genuinely improved: I notice the difference in my contact with colleagues, clients and journalists. I’d give BLCC an 11 out of 10!

I’m already reaping benefits from those lessons.

I feel much more comfortable now when on the phone. I can express myself more fluently in French as well when giving presentations and I no longer worry so much about the mistakes I make.

Sandra's online classes were exceptionally organized and well-prepared. Despite my expectations of slow progress, I noticed significant improvement with my commitment. Sandra's teaching style is amazing, making each lesson a highly anticipated event in my week. Her constant interaction was crucial for my progress, as self-study is challenging for me. The didactic material was clear, structured, and perfectly adapted to my level. I have no adjustments to suggest at this time. I highly recommend Sandra's course for a dynamic and motivating French learning experience.

I had a very positive experience with BLCC’s language training. As a Content Officer at UNICEF België, I aimed to improve my French to communicate more effectively with colleagues. My trainer, Anahyse, was very supportive and made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Since completing the course, I feel more confident understanding French in my professional environment. It has been a valuable step in enhancing my language skills.
