Job interviews in English are rarely about speaking perfect English.They are about being clear, convincing, and confident when it matters most.
Many candidates have the technical skills and professional experience required for a role, yet struggle to express them effectively during an interview in English. Stress, hesitation, lack of structure, or limited confidence can all undermine an otherwise strong profile.
This is exactly why I designed this English course with CPF specifically for job interview preparation: a practical, personalised training programme focused on real recruitment situations, not textbook English.
Why a Job Interview in English Is a Specific Skill
Speaking English at work and succeeding in an interview are two very different challenges.
During an interview, you are expected to:
present your background clearly
justify your experience
argue your strengths
respond spontaneously to targeted questions
remain professional and confident under pressure
General English courses rarely address these skills in depth. Interview performance requires targeted preparation, structured answers, and repeated oral practice in conditions that resemble a real interview.
That is what this training is designed to deliver.

Who This CPF-Eligible Training Is For
This programme is designed for professionals who:
need to prepare for a job interview conducted partly or entirely in English
already have an intermediate level (minimum B1.9)
want a focused, short-term training with measurable results
The training can be followed in Vincennes or online, making it fully compatible with professional schedules and remote recruitment processes.
If you are looking for an English course with CPF in Vincennes that goes beyond generic language training, this programme is built specifically for you.
A Fully Personalised Approach from the Very First Session
Before the training begins, I carry out a detailed level assessment.This allows me to confirm that your level matches the demands of interview preparation and to define clear, realistic objectives.
Each programme is built around:
your CV
the position you are applying for
your sector and professional background
the type of interview you are facing
This is not a standardised course. It is private tutoring in English, designed to reflect your real professional context and challenges.
How the Training Works in Practice
The training is based on individual sessions, allowing for maximum speaking time and personalised feedback.
You benefit from:
one-to-one lessons of forty minutes
a recommended rhythm of one to three sessions per week
progressive interview simulations
immediate corrections and reformulations
This format allows us to work deeply on clarity, structure, and fluency, while building confidence step by step.The training combines face-to-face sessions with online education, ensuring flexibility without sacrificing quality.
E-Learning as a Tool for Consolidation and Confidence
Between sessions, you complete personalised online activities created specifically for your profile.
These activities focus on:
preparing interview answers
structuring ideas logically
developing professional vocabulary
reinforcing what was practised during lessons
This e-learning component ensures continuity between sessions and accelerates progress, especially for candidates who need to gain confidence quickly.
A Certified Training Programme Eligible for CPF Funding
This programme is fully eligible for CPF funding and concludes with the TOEIC certification, which validates your progress and provides official recognition of your level.
As an English teacher in Vincennes, I manage the entire training process:
course design
personalised content
interview simulations
TOEIC preparation and registration
The certification offers an additional level of reassurance for both candidates and employers.
What You Can Expect at the End of the Training
By the end of the programme, you will be able to:
handle a job interview in English with greater ease
present your profile clearly and convincingly
respond more fluently to recruiter questions
speak with more confidence and spontaneity
approach the TOEIC exam with a clear understanding of its format
If you are looking for an English course in Vincennes that focuses on real interview performance rather than abstract language skills, this training is designed to help you succeed when it matters most.
