Group Training
In order to offer you the best training possible, we organize groups according to the participants’ level of competence.
Two possibilities are available:
1. The participants come from different companies and attend classes on our premises during the evening or on Saturday morning.
2. The number of participants registering from a single company is sufficient to warrant the creation of a special group (more than 8 people at the same level).In this case, the classes can be offered according to different schedules and locations. An agreement with the company’s administrator will be concluded to this effect.
Training sites
Cégep Marie-Victorin’s Continuing Education department can offer the classes on the company’s premises when there are enough participants to form a group or elsewhere on the Island of Montreal. We also offer our training in three buildings:
- At the Multicultural Education Center (5010, Paré street - next to Namur metro station) (more groups at this place)
- At the Business Services Center (767, Bélanger street - next to Jean-Talon metro station)
- At the Permanent Education department at the main campus (Dujarié building - 7050, Marie-Victorin street)

Schedule
If there are enough participants to form a group on the company’s premises, the class schedule can be arranged with Cégep Marie-Victorin.
For groups including employees from different companies and taking classes on our premises, classes are usually scheduled for three hours per week over a 15-week period. Two kinds of schedules are available: weekday evenings (6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) or Saturday mornings (9 a.m. to 12 noon). Groups are formed if the registration is sufficient (approximately 10 people). As we will receive new registrations at all times, we will start new groups when we will have enough registrations.
Levels
We offer four different levels. The first three levels focus on oral communication; the fourth level focuses on advanced oral communication and the basics of written French.We could offer more levels, if needed.
In order to assess their level of competence in French, newly registered participants will take a placement test over the telephone a few days after registering.
Registration
If the company is eligible, you must download registration forms :
There are 2 forms to complete : one for the companies' eligibility (ask to your human resources manager or line supervisor for this form) and one for individual registration. This must then be sent to us by e-mail at the following address: francaislangueseconde@collegemv.qc.ca or by fax to 514-733-3131.
Please try to send us the two forms at the same time.
The schedule and the location of the classes may vary if a company registers enough participants to form a group. Furthermore, if the classes are held during the employees’ work hours, the company may ask the Fonds de développement et de reconnaissance des compétences de la main-d'oeuvre to reimburse their wages (up to $20 per hour).
