### Description

The **Certificate of Achievement in French** is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the essentials of the French language: reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills. This certificate is intended for students pursuing other degrees or careers not necessarily related to the French language but who still want to learn the language. With this certificate, students can petition their employer for any benefits that may be available for those who have skills in French.

Students who successfully complete the certificate will be able to communicate competently in French at a basic conversational level. While students will not be able to act as an interpreter, they will be able to communicate directly with clients, customers, coworkers, or community members who are French speakers and whose English proficiency may be limited.
