Financing your language study holiday with the CPF
Can I use my CPF for a language stay?
CPF training abroad
The best way to learn a foreign language is total immersion in the native country. If you have a CPF budget, you can use it to finance your stay. This is not a simple tourist trip, but a real language stay with 17 to 21 hours of lessons per week. You'll also have the option of staying with a host family, so you can make real progress in your language studies.
Where can I go on a language study holiday with my CPF?
Accessible to all budgets
At LangStart International, we offer language stays to suit all budgets. For example, you can stay for as little as one week, for as long as you like. Depending on your availability, your language objectives, your CPF budget and your desires, we'll prepare an unforgettable stay around the world. If you wish, you can of course supplement the budget with your own personal contribution.
Before you register, take the time to define your needs. We advise you to consider all aspects of your stay.
The main objective
What are your ambitions at the end of this stay?
- improve your language skills,
- prepare for official certification (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge...),
- acquire new language skills in a specific field (e.g. business English).
The destination
Although the destination is often a choice of the heart, it must also meet certain practical criteria to facilitate your daily life during your stay. Take into account any constraints in terms of budget, travel or time difference. Choose a country that matches your preferences in terms of climate, culture and activities.
Accommodation
The choice of accommodation must also be carefully considered, as it must match both your wishes and your budget, and will have a considerable impact on the quality of your stay. We offer several accommodation options:
- University residence if you want to stay in a multicultural environment,
- Homestay for complete immersion in the host country,
- In a shared or private apartment if you prefer to be totally independent.
You can also choose to stay on your own, by opting for a package without accommodation.
