Professional students need to be able to use the English language in the international workplace in a way that allows them to be effective in their primary role.  OISE intensive English language courses allow participants to build their confidence and develop the skills in English which are essential to their specific workplace.  The student needs to be able to operate in their professional context at an equal level with native speakers.

The courses train students to gain experience and develop the skills necessary to use English in their own professional situations.  Students are challenged to achieve the maximum of their potential.  Teachers set milestones and goals and provide constant evaluation.  

Language stays for adults and professionals with OISE are intended for anyone wishing to improve a foreign language, whether for work, personal development, or career advancement. Thanks to a tailored approach and the possibility of funding through the CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation), OISE programs are accessible to a wide audience.
Professionals develop linguistic skills needed to work in an international environment, negotiate confidently, or participate in multilingual meetings.
Adults undergoing career changes use OISE language stays to prepare for new professional challenges by acquiring strong language skills essential in many sectors.
Passionate learners immerse themselves in a foreign culture, perfect their mastery, and enrich personal or travel projects.
Each participant benefits from an intensive and personalised program designed to meet their specific goals. Whether the learner seeks professional performance or personal fulfilment, OISE supports them throughout their journey.

OISE professional language stays use innovative methods such as Quatorial™ and Tutorial™. These approaches enable intensive and personalised learning through:
