Bespoke Training Programmes

No one client is the same. We take time to understand your business and the requirements of each participant, so that the language training will be tailored to fit your business and language needs.

So whether you need French for communicating with the parent company in Paris, German for your technical support team in Warsaw or Japanese for taking up a new role in Tokyo, your course will be designed so that you and your team acquire the language you need to be effective in your roles.

We run individual, departmental and company-wide training programmes to suit your requirements and budget. Most of our clients opt for a weekly 1.5 hour session, but more intensive options are available. The maximum recommended number of people per group is four.

A Flexible Approach

In your office or by video-conference

The majority of our clients opt for face-to-face training at their office in the UK or abroad. However, for those who travel or find it difficult to attend in the office, we offer alternative methods of delivery.  Training via video-conference has become increasingly popular, as it allows for increased flexibility. We have clients who travel three weeks in four and others who are not office-based, and learning virtually is the perfect solution for them.

Training using video-collaboration is also ideal for training geographically-dispersed teams. It’s economic, environmentally friendly and can be just as effective as the conventional approach.

Weekly or by appointment

Training sessions can be set up on a regular basis, but with the option to rearrange your session should you need to, or on an appointment basis whereby you book your sessions from week to week around your diary.

Times to suit you

We appreciate that your time is at a premium and, should you find it difficult to schedule the training into your working day, you can learn before work, after work, in the evening or even at weekends. We recognise that there may be weeks when you have to miss a session due to overseas travel or work commitments. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to progress. If you are learning in a group and have to miss a session, your trainer will share details of work covered with you, so that you can catch up in your own time.

Constant Support

All our clients are supported throughout the learning process. You have access to our online resources (selected languages) and electronic helpline. You can also email your trainer with any questions.

Monitoring Progress

Your trainer will monitor your progress throughout, providing regular feedback and an end-of-course report.

Formal assessments can be conducted as required and feedback given to the manager responsible/training department.

Your language proficiency level will be determined in relation to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR has become the common standard for defining language proficiency levels and interpreting language qualifications not just in Europe, but worldwide. It describes language ability on a scale of levels, from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have complete mastery of a language.

Gain a Recognized Qualification

The decision on whether to take a recognized qualification is entirely up to the company and the individual. Many clients like to see evidence of employee progress; others are happy to see the on-going benefits in improved day-to-day communications with business partners, customers and international colleagues.

Course Management – Monitoring the Training Online

We work closely with our clients to provide regular feedback. HR and Training Managers can access our password-protected, online reporting system to monitor training activity. Your HR or Training Department will be able to access general course information, diagnostic tests, attendance records, progress reports, course evaluations and details of any qualifications achieved.
