Pathways Tailored to Every Goal
From beginner to expert mastery, from general vocabulary to industry-specific terminology: a programme designed for your ambition.
Learn a language, yes — but what for? The answer to this question determines everything else: the content, the pace, the methods, the success criteria. A salesperson who needs to negotiate in English does not have the same needs as an engineer who must read technical documentation in German.
At Linguaphone, every training programme is built around a precise objective. From the first word to fluent speech, from general vocabulary to the technical terms of your industry, we design the programme that will take you exactly where you want to go.

The CEFR: A Clear Reference Framework
All Linguaphone programmes are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the international standard that defines six levels of language proficiency, from A1 (breakthrough) to C2 (mastery). This framework offers several decisive advantages for learners:
- Precise initial diagnosis: your starting level is assessed against objective, internationally recognised criteria
- Clear progression milestones: you know exactly where you stand and what remains ahead
- Universal recognition: CEFR levels are understood by employers, universities, and institutions worldwide
Whether you are aiming to move from A2 to B1 for everyday professional exchanges, or consolidating a C1 level for complex negotiations, the CEFR provides a structuring and motivating framework.
Professional Training: Language in the Service of Your Career
The majority of our learners undertake language training in a professional context. Their needs go beyond 'speaking English' — they need to communicate effectively in their profession, with the vocabulary, conventions, and situations specific to their industry.
Linguaphone offers professional programmes tailored to many sectors:
- Finance and banking: financial terminology, banking correspondence, report presentations
- Luxury and fashion: international client reception, collection presentations, commercial negotiation
- Technology and IT: technical documentation, agile meetings, international customer support
- Industry and engineering: specifications, safety standards, collaboration with foreign suppliers
- Legal: international contracts, legal correspondence, specialised terminology
The trainer is briefed on your professional context and uses materials drawn directly from your working environment. The goal: skills acquired in training are immediately transferable to your daily work.
Certification Preparation
Many learners need a recognised certification to validate their language skills. Whether for recruitment, promotion, international mobility, or CPF funding, certifications provide tangible proof of your level.
Linguaphone prepares learners for the leading certifications on the market:
- TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication): the corporate standard for professional English
- Bright Language: rapid and reliable assessment, available in 11 languages
- Le Robert: the reference certification for French as a foreign or native language
- TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge: for academic projects and international mobility
Our certification preparation programmes are structured, timed, and results-oriented. They include mock exams under real conditions, targeted work on assessed skills, and regular monitoring of progress towards the target score.
From Beginner to Expertise: Clear Milestones
Whatever your starting point, your Linguaphone programme is marked by visible and measurable progression milestones. This transparency is essential to maintain motivation and to demonstrate the return on investment of the training — whether to your employer or to yourself.
At each stage, formative assessments measure your progress across the four core skills: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing. These assessments are not stressful exams — they are management tools that allow your trainer to adjust the programme according to your actual progress.
At the end of the programme, a summative assessment confirms the level achieved and skills developed. For businesses, detailed reports measure the impact of training on their employees' language skills and feed into their talent development strategy.
