What alpha.b Institut Linguistique offers English speakers in Nice
alpha.b is on rue d'Angleterre, a short walk from both the beach and the old town, and keeps its groups to between five and ten students, which is the single most useful number a language school can publish. Weekly loads run from twenty lessons to twenty-eight, with combined options and separate programmes for sixteen to eighteen year olds preparing A Levels, the Abitur, the Matura or the Irish Leaving Certificate. It opens 08:15 to 16:30 on weekdays and arranges host families, residences and hotels.
Its accreditations point at two different audiences. Qualité FLE is the French state label. IALC and Eaquals are international associations that inspect language schools on teaching and management, and they are the names an agent or a university abroad will recognise. It is also an exam centre for the DFP, the diplôme de français professionnel, which certifies workplace French rather than general French. If your aim is holding your own in a French office rather than clearing an administrative threshold, that is the more relevant paper to sit.
