Telelangue

What Telelangue does

Telelangue is a French corporate language training provider founded in 1981 and headquartered in Ivry-sur-Seine. The company delivers multi-channel language instruction across 18 languages, combining telephone lessons, e-learning platforms, virtual classrooms, face-to-face sessions, and executive coaching. Its core product stack includes the CyberTeachers adaptive e-learning platform, the Casteen AI-powered video learning tool featuring IntelliSpeech pronunciation assessment, the Talkeen structured business methodology, and the LEVELTEL certified oral assessment. A network of 800 qualified native-speaker trainers across 5 continents underpins service delivery, supported by administrative tools (NetManager, NetReporting, NetPlanning, AuditOnline) and integrations with enterprise LMS platforms.

The company's revenue model spans B2B enterprise subscriptions (per-seat corporate licensing with volume pricing and custom deployment), B2C individual subscriptions funded through the French CPF government training scheme, and professional services (executive coaching, skills workshops). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales to large multinationals (Airbus, L'Oréal, Vallourec, PSA Peugeot Citroën, ArcelorMittal, AXA, Bristol-Myers Squibb), channel partnerships with OPCO operators and Pôle Emploi for publicly funded training, and recruitment agency partnerships for assessment services. Pricing for individual packages ranges from €490 to €3,990, with executive coaching sessions from €540 and per-seat enterprise licensing.

Telelangue holds Qualiopi certification (the French regulatory requirement for CPF access), ISO 21001 for educational management, CNIL data protection registration, and CNCP certification for the LEVELTEL assessment. These credentials, combined with 40+ years of continuous operation, SCORM-compliant LMS integrations, and a proprietary 600-million-word speech assessment corpus, form the basis of its position in the French and European corporate language training market.
