VDC-Languages specialises in tailor-made one-to-one training courses for adults. We offer 10 languages and work with our dedicated team of 18 instructors, all of whom are native speakers. We offer 6 options, allowing you to improve in a relaxed manner, at your own pace and according to your requirements. Sessions generally last 32 hours in total, and can be spread over one week or one year, according to the option chosen and your schedule.
Each training course is prepared early on and begins with a full screening process. This takes place via a phone interview, the first part of which is conducted in your native language, and the second part in the target language. This aims to establish your language level and your goals, and enables us to tailor-make the course for you.
FLEXITIME
This option is suitable for all levels and has the advantage of being very flexible. The pace of the course can vary according to your requirements, availability, expectations and even your progress. For example, you can start at a steady pace of 3 x 2 hours per week and end with a single session per week, enabling you to achieve more long-term results.
This programme is highly popular and recommended due to the flexibility and results it offers.

It is also suitable for beginners, providing that it is followed by a second module over a longer period of time (Flexitime), which enables you to practice and absorb the material covered during the intensive training course.
This option includes a (restaurant) lunch which takes place in the target language. This lunchtime session allows you to practice the material covered in class in a relaxed and natural way. It also gives you the chance to have informal conversations that will improve your spontaneity.

The lunchtime session offers a ‘work’ opportunity, allowing you to chat about a variety of subjects and topics relating to everyday life or current affairs.
