audiovisual workstation. Nevertheless, for the purpose of level compatibility:

This course is completely adapted to the student's needs (vocabulary, work situations, etc.). In this case, we would ask the participants to furnish their requirements.

Number of students per class:

Private courses: one (1) participant.
Pre-organized groups - with generally 2 to 6 participants: without exception, all students must be at the same level working for the same organisation or at least, in the same field, in order to make the above-mentioned adaptation possible.
