Full-time French second-language training

The Department of Foreign Affairs Trade and Development (DFATD) appointed a group of employees to non-imperative positions and they have to reach a higher level of bilingualism in French as a second language, that is, they must achieve level CCC. The objective of this contract is to hire a contractor who will provide full-time French-as-a-second-language training services. The contractor will provide training at their facilities to three (3) predetermined groups with four (4) to six (6) candidates each. These candidates have all had their training needs assessed, using the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) PFL2 A-B-C program as a reference. Two groups will have an identical starting level. Candidates who need less training will be integrated at a later date. They must all achieve level CCC in French as a second language, in accordance with Public Service Commission of Canada (PSC) standards. There are security requirements associated with this requirement. For additional information, consult Part 6 – Security and Financial Requirements, and Part 7 - Resulting Contract Clauses.
