Select a Bildungsurlaub accredited French course in France and come to ACCORD Paris French language school to follow your French course. Bildungsurlaub is a subsidised educational leave for personal development and training purposes regulated by German Länder.
ACCORD Paris is one of the approved French language schools which German employees can choose for their French language training.

To be eligible to the Bildungsurlaub grant, most federal states ask the companies to employ a minimum number of staff and that the employee wishing to apply for the Bildungsurlaub grant has been employed for a minimum period of time by the company. In Baden-Württemberg employees must be working for the company for at least twelve months, while in Nordrhein-Westfalen it is only six months.

Bildungsurlaub accredited French language course

ACCORD French course is recognised for Bildungsurlaub in the following German Länder:

• Berlin,
• Baden-Württemberg,
• Brandenburg,
• Bremen,
• Hamburg,
• Hessen,
• Niedersachsen,
• Rheinland-Pfalz,
• Saarland,
• Sachsen-Anhalt,
• Schleswig-Holstein,
• Thüringen.

Select a Bildungsurlaub accredited French course

The Bildungsurlaub must be submitted to the employer by the employee. The employer has the final decision whether the applicant is exempted from work to attend the training. The application must be handed in in a written form and all documents should be enclosed showing that the selected course is recognised as Bildungsurlaub in the Land (federal state). In most federal states, the application should be submitted twelve weeks before the course starts.

Bildungsurlaub allows employees to get five extra days of paid vacation per year. In many federal states it is possible to take ten days in Bildungsurlaub every two years. Saarland is an exceptional case where employees get six days per year.

The law lays down special requirements for language courses in order to be recognised as Bildungsurlaub. There are many criteria such as the number of lessons. Usually a total of 30 lessons of 45 minutes is required to be recognised.

At ACCORD the course recognised for Bildungsurlaub is the French course ‘D’ (38 lessons/week)

This Intensive French course ‘D’ includes the morning intensive French course ‘A’ (from 9:00 to 13:00) and three afternoon lessons of your choice (from 14h15 to 17h15) with one extra hour coaching during the week.

As the Intensive French Course ‘D’ includes 3 afternoon classes, students can easily enrol for the three Writing and Grammar classes (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) or students can also mix and match these lessons with our two other afternoon classes: ‘Oral Communication’ (Monday and Friday).

Book your Bildungsurlaub French course at ACCORD Paris!

During a Bildungsurlaub, the employer pays the employee’s salary as usual. The employee shall bear the costs of the course, expenditure on teaching materials, travel and accommodation costs.

ACCORD Paris is registered as a Private Institute of Higher Education (n°588) at the Academy of Paris. Furthermore, ACCORD Paris is member of SOUFFLE, a professional association of quality language schools teaching French as a foreign language, and is also a member of Campus France.

In 2007, ACCORD Paris was one of the first French language schools in France to have been awarded “Qualité FLE”, the official French accreditation which guarantees the quality of teaching, premises and services provided (administration, enrolment, accommodation, etc.) of a school teaching French as a foreign language. And during its last inspection, the “Qualité FLE” auditors awarded ACCORD School the top marks (3 stars) in all areas (teaching, premises, etc.).

ACCORD French language school: 3bis rue Jean-Pierre Bloch, 75015 Paris

After having been present for 10 years rue Montmartre then 20 years on the Grands Boulevards, the ACCORD school opened a new chapter in its history by leaving the boulevard Poissonnière and the 9th arrondissement for premises located in the 15th arrondissement, near the Champs of Mars and the Eiffel Tower.

Located near the Champs de Mars and the Eiffel Tower, the ACCORD school is also close to the Quai Branly museum and its famous “green facade” (a green wall), the Invalides museum and the Tomb of Napoleon 1st, but also the superb and unfortunately too little known Rodin Museum, UNESCO and many other famous places and sites.

We have all heard about the beautiful city of Paris, the French capital also called “Cité des lumières” (city of lights) and many have visited the most romantic cities in the world at least once (Rome, Madrid…). Paris is the perfect place to study French and experience a real French language immersion in Paris!

Learn French – French language immersion in Paris

Indeed, French language courses are very popular in Paris as every day you have the possibility to practise your French in cafés nearby ACCORD school, street markets like the one rue Montorgueil, restaurants or French brasseries near the Eiffel Tower, jazz clubs in the Quartier Latin, etc. This is why Paris is the most popular destination to learn French while getting to know more about French culture and civilisation.

French language immersion in Paris with our Oral communication and French Culture & Civilisation course

During the morning intensive course, students participate and work on producing written work, are encouraged to improve their oral communication whilst also focusing on developing their vocabulary and getting a good grasp of the French grammar. The emphasis is made on improving confidence in speaking and listening in French in a range of everyday situations.

This is also why the “sorties pédagogiques” (“Walking in Paris” lessons) are essential to a true French language immersion in Paris. Our teachers regularly organise “sorties pédagogiques” (“Walking in Paris” lessons) so that students are placed in an authentic environment, enabling them to practice what they have learnt in the classroom whilst exploring Paris and its culture, as well as getting a better understanding of living in Paris.
For some topics, our teachers dedicate part of the course to a visit related to the topic studied in class, for example the Passage des Panoramas or the Passage du Caire (the oldest Passage in Paris).

Learn French in Paris and enjoy a real French language immersion!

Two afternoon lessons are dedicated to the Oral communication and French Culture & Civilisation on Monday and Friday afternoons. Students may work on specific topics such as the history of Paris and visit the Quartier du Marais, or explore the secrets of Montmartre, a true village in Paris or the beating heart of Paris, the Ile Saint Louis and Ile de la Cité, as well as French cinema, French literature, etc.
Thus, learning French is not just a necessity, it is also a real pleasure! A fantastic way of enjoying a complete French language immersion in Paris.

Each week, ACCORD recommends a range of activities and excursions that stimulate students’ curiosity and motivate them to be confident when meeting Parisians and French people in general. For example, students can take a boat trip on the Seine river and on the Saint-Martin canal, or visit some of the famous landmarks such the Louvre or Orsay museums, or even spend some time to the Cimetière du Père Lachaise to visit its famous residents, such as Héloïse and Abélard, unfortunate heroes of the most beautiful love story in French history.

There are also excursions students can book via ACCORD’s partners, you can expect to visit places like the Mont Saint-Michel, Reims (and taste some Champagne!), Honfleur, Etretat, Saint-Malo, Giverny…

This means ACCORD students are able to live a great experience, feeling comfortable with the French language in doing a real and full French language immersion in Paris.
A French language course at ACCORD Paris is really worth a try, no doubt!

Staying with a French host family is surely the best experience as it is a real immersion into the Parisian and French way of life. You will also be able to practise your French and learn new words talking to your family. In all our families you will be staying in your own room, but as you will be considered a member of the family, you will also have to adapt to the family’s routine, following for example the family’s meals times. Contacting your host family before your arrival and sociable with them will help you integrate quickly into your “second” family. When you have enrolled at ACCORD Paris and decided to stay with a host family, our dedicated staff will send you a short Homestay Application form for you to complete and return. This is very important for us as it helps us select the family that most matches your profile. This means that you will be able to spend time with a family who will be interested in what you are doing and you will be able to settle down very quickly and really benefit from practising the French you’ve learnt at the school during the evenings and weekends.
All our families are carefully selected and located in Paris “intra muros”, never outside Paris.
We offer these host family options:
*Single room with breakfast

ACCORD School will send the diploma by standard post to the address confirmed by the students once the diploma has been received at the school usually within 9 to 10 weeks of the exam taking place.
It is also possible to send the diploma via a courier service such as DHL for a fee of 170€.
