Get your employer to fund your French

Learning French is rarely a private matter when you work in France — it changes what you can do at work. Companies can fund it, and many do. Here is how it works, and what to send your HR team.

Centre Zenith is Qualiopi-certified, holds the Label Qualité FLE, and is an official DELF–DALF exam centre and an accredited DCL preparation centre.

That certification is what makes the training fundable by an OPCO or through the CPF. View the certificate

Why Centre Zenith

Native teachers, based in France

Every teacher is a native French speaker, living and working in France, and qualified to teach the language. They also speak English — which matters a great deal when you are starting from nothing and need a rule explained another way.

An exam centre, not just a school

We are a DELF and DCL exam centre. Your training can end with an official diploma, taken on site — something concrete to show your employer rather than a number of hours attended.

The usual funding routes work

We accept OPCO funding and the company training plan (plan de développement des compétences). An employee can also use their personal CPF account to cover part or all of the cost.

Two addresses in the Paris area

50 rue de Pontoise in Bezons (95), and 5 rue Legraverend in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. Staff pick whichever is closer to the office or to home.

How to reach us

Two formats

The usual one

At our centre

This is how the large majority of our company-funded training happens: the employee comes to the centre, in a group or one-to-one. There are daytime, evening and Saturday-morning slots, so training can be arranged without disrupting the team.

On contract

At your offices

Our teachers can come to your company. The rate depends on the format, the number of participants and the location, so it is quoted case by case.

On request

How it works

  1. Free level test

    Each participant takes a level test. That is what sets the group, the number of hours and a realistic target — and therefore the quote.

    Request a level test
  2. Quote

    We issue a quote in the name of the company or the OPCO, with the programme, the hours and the dates. That is the document your training department needs.

  3. Training

    Classes start on the agreed slot. You receive attendance certificates, and the employee follows their own progress from their personal space.

  4. Exam, if you want one

    The course can end with a DELF or a DCL taken at our centre. It is optional, but it is what turns hours of training into a qualification.

What to send your HR team

Copy this, adjust it, and send it on.

I would like to take French classes at Centre Zenith, a language school and DELF/DCL exam centre with sites in Bezons (95) and Paris 12e.

Their teachers are native French speakers based in France and can explain in English. The course can end with an official DELF or DCL diploma taken at their centre.

They accept OPCO funding and the company training plan, and they issue a quote in the company's name. I can also contribute through my CPF.

Classes run in the daytime, in the evening and on Saturday mornings, so this would not disrupt my working hours. Their corporate page is here: https://www.centrezenith.com/french-classes-for-companies
