Official Languages School

Don’t use this service. They didn’t provide course notes which was to be emailed. After the 3rd class the course was cancelled and I was promised a refund back in November 2017 which I have not received. The teacher would yell at me as I could not say some words. The other 2 students in the class had all learnt French before and one lived and worked in Gatineau. I had never learnt French but was expected to know the basics and to keep up with intermediate students. I am extremely disappointed. A waste of time and money. Stay away from this organisation.

Horrible! if I could give them a zero I would. I was hoping to practice my French grammar enough to pass my government language test. I paid ALOT of money for private French lessons and learned NOTHING AT ALL! I even brought in my own worksheets that I found online and printed off. The teacher just sat in the room the whole time playing on his phone while I worked on the worksheets I brought in! Oh, and on top of that he'd only speak French (with a heavy accent) therefore, if you didn't understand what he was saying in French too bad for you. I ended up quitting and when I tried to get a refund for the classes I did not take they never returned any of my calls or emails and I didn't get any of the money I paid back. DO NOT take lessons from here, save your money!

Terrible school. I signed up for courses in November of 2017. We had three classes and then the rest of the term was suspended. The reason given was they were renegotiating their lease. I was told I would receive a partial refund. It is now January of 2018 and I have not received a refund. Various emails have insisted that I keep waiting with no timeline given. Awful. Avoid this school" at all costs."

I still don't believe that I would have enough time to obtain my level C" in the Public Service Commission of Canada Oral Interaction Test.But thanks to Official Languages School's Preparation for the Oral Proficiency Test: Level B or C in 30 hours

Classes were cancelled indefinitely after three sessions because of a leasing issue and I'm still waiting for a refund over two months later. The actual quality of the classes was okay at best and my instructor could barely speak English which made it more difficult to learn from them.Update: I got a partial refund two and a half months later after a few unreturned emails. Very unprofessional and would not recommend.
