Your employer can pay for your course: Sara's story
"My name is Sara, I am Italian and I have been living in Belgium for over two years. I work as a Business Risk Officer at Ageas and have been studying French at CVO Semper since September 2025.
I chose this school because it offers an ideal combination of face-to-face lessons and online exercises on a learning platform. This method suits me perfectly because I no longer live in Brussels and it is too tiring to attend classes twice a week, as is the case at other schools.
The registration fees are higher this year, but my company has agreed to cover them.
Ageas supports its international employees and understands the importance of learning one of the country's official languages in order to integrate better, communicate with colleagues and grow professionally.
Thanks to this support, I can continue learning French. I really recommend talking to your employer: investing in language course is beneficial for your career and your well-being in Belgium! :)"
