In order to better understand your request and diagnose your needs, kindly, let us know:

* : hybrid options can be considered. Our best recommendation would go to onsite courses (avoiding Internet issues) with a dedicated time of the participants for the course.

In order to stick to our quality standards, to maintain high results and attendance, to keep participants' motivation, Institut français du Nigéria recommends a minimum of 6 hours per week (4 classes of 1.5hr or 3 classes of 2hrs). Frequency of practice is the key.

On your company premises or at Institut français du Nigéria only. Transportation fees apply for classes on your company premises (VI-Ikoyi-Yaba areas)
As an online option (with a learning platform and/or Zoom meetings). Fees apply. We do not recommend this option for beginners.
As hybrid. Online and on-site classes have the same cost.

Company courses fees include a monthly dedicated follow-up of attendance and progress to the company training department.

Reaching a certain level of command of a language requires commitment to a certain number of hours of studies.

In General French, beginner courses are 120 hour-long to complete the first and second international levels (A1 120 hrs & A2 120 hrs). Reaching a B1 level requires a total of 420 hours of studies.

In French for Business, you complete A1 and A2 levels in 120 hrs because it is focused on business needs only. Reaching a B1 level requires a total of 270 hours of studies.

Your company can request one of our experienced teachers from Monday to Saturday.
Our teachers are generally committed with group courses at Institut français du Nigéria between 8:30am and 2:30pm, being able to give a class at your company between 3pm and 5:30pm.
Kindly, note that depending on our courses schedule, some teachers might also be available from 8:30am to 12pm or from 12pm to 6pm.

Fees will vary according to the request and the number of participants (from 3 to 5; from 6 to 10; from 10 to 15 students). In order to offer the best learning environment, our groups are limited to 15 participants. We do not quote courses on a monthly basis but based on full level achievement (A1, A2, B1 & B2).

As any course, attendance and commitment depends on the participant's personal interest and availability.
For this reason, in terms of financial investment for your company and students' commitment, we cannot but recommend companies to carefully choose employees who are available and who will be reaching a very high attendance.

We have noticed that companies setting a specific time and calendar for participants who can fully dedicate their time (during working hours) to the learning process (no emails, presentations, meetings, professional trips …) reach higher results and performance.
