Micro-certification involves shorter, competency-based courses offered to new workers, professionals, immigrants, and those looking to change careers, and focuses on practical, lifelong learning in today’s rapidly changing workplace.
Université Sainte-Anne, with a long history as a major contributor to French language education in Nova Scotia, offers numerous courses in French for adults. Our mission is to help people interested in French, whether for work or leisure, looking to elevate their skills or to establish proficiency.
Université Sainte-Anne is a certified centre for the Test d’évaluation de français (TEF). TEF Canada has been designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Québec’s Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) for all economic immigration programs that require, or accept, proof of language skills.
The CLIC program prepares beginners for the Canadian citizenship language evaluation. This program is funded by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada and is free of charge for Permanent Residents and people with refugee status. Intake is continuous, so you can register at any time.
These training courses are designed for residents of Canada aged 50 and older.
We work collaboratively with businesses, associations and groups who want to acquire specific skills with a much shorter time commitment than what a traditional university course can offer. We work with your experts to develop a program to suit your needs, creating a curriculum that meets your team-training goals. A strong pre-knowledge of the French language is a prerequisite we can assess before beginning the process together.
Partner with us to create a customized French Language curriculum to fit your training plan. We work collaboratively with experts across multiple sectors, helping businesses, industry associations and groups build French-language skill sets and meet their multilingual goals.
