Local Businesses making  use of language training 
"During the last few years the Alliance Française de Cambridge has helped hundreds of individuals, professionnal and otherwise; journalists, doctors, lecturers, lawyers, engineers, scientists, anthropologists, historians, philosophers, accountants, technologists among others.
The organisation has enabled them to present papers and lectures, write articles, formulate advertising jingles, copy and brochures, translate packaging and labelling, demonstrate products, train sales forces and secure contracts for companies.
It has also helped the RSPB to set up projects for birds protection in North Africa and elsewhere and have provided language training for sales managers to operate, for example, in Algeria.
The Alliance française de Cambridge has also provided over 50 local companies with business-related training and services."

General public quotes

Why I would recommend the Alliance Française :

"Friendly staff, pleasant and relaxed atmosphere ; teaching efficient and appropriate. It delivers what it promises."    

"I like the mixture of informal, friendly atmosphere and also the formal aspects of learning grammar. The teaching is very, very encouraging. Everyone is made to feel that they can learn (as a teacher, I know that this is not as easy as it might seem !)"

"It works"

"Because it gives a very positive experience of France. Very educational and supportive environment, a very generous spirit. Thank you all !"

"It's a friendly place to improve and maintain one's standard of spoken French"

"Professional"

"I think it is a good school, the classes are not the usual language classes, but more fun and comprehensive. The tutors are very nice and all in all, the atmosphere is excellent, which makes me participate with pleasure"

"Because of the class size (ie. small) and excellent teaching! Everyone of whatever stage of the year  they join is made to feel very welcome and full participation in the class is encouraged."

"The feeling of French immersion"

"I think this is the best way to learn French outside France"
