The Projet Voltaire offers individualised remedial work in spelling to all students who wish to improve their French skills.
The professional world requires a certain level of spelling, which could be detrimental to you if not achieved. Written content concerns all professional sectors nowadays and can be found everywhere: emails, professional chats, reports, social networks… Companies are aware of this fact and are more and more cautious about their applicants’ spelling.
The University offers self-paced, online training thanks to a personalised programme.
