General organization
From July 19 until July 31, 2010 the language centre CLT organises intensive courses in FRENCH-ENGLISH-SPANISH-GERMAN
These courses comprise 50 class hours and aim at all those interested provided that they have a secondary school certificate and that they are 18 years old.
The number of participants per group is limited to about 16.
The Summer Course does not automatically give access to the CLT year course!
We organize 3 or 4 levels for each language: from absolute beginner to independent user.
These levels correspond with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Absolute beginners always start in level Breakthrough.
