The French for Teachers program at Trinity College Dublin is a 2-year non-degree course for qualified post-primary school teachers in Ireland who want to teach French. It's ideal for those with a background in French who want to improve their language skills and teaching abilities.

This program covers language pedagogy, contemporary French society, and includes immersive experiences in a francophone country. Participants will develop their language proficiency and pedagogical skills through online and face-to-face instruction.

Graduates can work as French language teachers, curriculum developers, and educational consultants. They will be qualified to teach French to Leaving Certificate level in Irish post-primary schools and have skills that are transferable across various educational settings.
