Stages and follow-up

Stage one
In stage one, we conduct an evaluation of the candidates and their needs. In doing so, BLI employs:

• A placement test
• A personal interview
• An orientation questionnaire

Stage two
In stage two, we propose a program to the training supervisor and discuss with him/her the composition of the groups on the basis of the evaluations of the candidates and the objectives sought. A language course schedule is agreed on.

Stage three
Delivery of course, follow-up, questionnaires and reports.
