Company Training
When your own business or the business of the organisation you work for depends on international communications, or if you simply understand that foreign language competence is an important element in building a good professional career, we can be of help.
Fist of all, we can do a language audit to assess the level of language proficiency of every employee. Then, depending on the results from this testing, we will offer you the best general and specialised English language training programme in conformity with the specific requirements and needs of your company or organisation. Our experience in company training and the professionalism of our teachers are a prerequisite for successful language acquisition.
Please, use our contact details so that we can specify your particular needs and how we can be useful.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
