Our language school
A language school recognised for more than 50 years…
… and at the historic location on Avenue Louise!
For more than 50 years, the Centre de perfectionnement académique de Bruxelles (CPAB) has been providing high-quality education and is part of the Enseignement pour Adultes recognised by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles in the field of languages and bureautics.
CPAB stands out as a leading school, offering a unique and effective learning environment thanks to a team of passionate, dedicated and highly committed teachers.
CPAB is a school recognised and subsidised by the Ministry and therefore provides official certificates that are recognised in academic and professional circles.

Our vision of education
Learning a foreign language
must be done in good conditions
At CPAB,

With cheerfulness
and kindness
A highly qualified team
at your service
A modular, flexible and certifying organisation
You progress at your own pace
The Enseignement pour Adultes of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles is a modular type of education.
The educational files determine the content, levels, skills to be acquired (pass mark and level of proficiency) and the number of class hours (1 class hour = 50 minutes of class time).
Each level includes a placement test, class hours, and a final assessment.
Depending on the course chosen, the number of class hours may vary from 40 to 120.
Our morning classes: once, twice or three times a week, over nine weeks or five months.
Our evening classes: once or twice a week, over five months.
Our school offers flexible courses, organised in the morning or evening, in small groups of 8 to 16 students maximum, at very attractive and competitive rates, and with official certificates.
