Learn Français
Most people are aware of the English training programs provided around the world by ILSC, but some people may be surprised, (and pleased!) to know that ILSC also provides high-quality French education programs as well. Based out of ILSC in the historic and beautiful Montréal, there are several unique courses and programs at our bilingual campus including French through Montréal course, the Volunteer Experience Program (available in English or French), the English through Food course, the French through Fashion and Design course, and many more! In addition, ILSC is the only centre in Quebec accredited by Cambridge University to deliver CELTA. If you find that French is your passion, try our CEFLE Program, which will prepare you for a career teaching French – c’est bon!
Greystone College & ILSC Business College
Greystone College – a part of ILSC Education group, has been offering quality vocational training programs for both international and domestic students for 15 years in Vancouver, Toronto, New Delhi – and coming this fall, Montréal! Programs range from Business to Tourism and Hospitality, to Teacher Training, to Interpretation and Translation. Many students attend ILSC and once they complete their program, transfer to Greystone College to pursue one of these programs. Greystone also offers co-op and practicum options to help students gain hands-on work experience in their chosen field of study.
ILSC Business College campuses are located in Australia and offer Vocational and Education Training (VET) programs that meet the standards set by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF.)

In Brisbane, your week could consist of a fun karaoke session, a MasterChef cooking class or learning how to make the perfect coffee in Café Work Skills 101. Our activities include both free and paid options, and of course, are designed to be as diverse as our students! Check out both current and past activity calendars for each location here!
