Business Language Training Service
We offer a personal service for you to learn a new language or improve an existing one. You may be a company or an individual; your objective could be to offer staff regular language training in-company or to present in a foreign language at a business meeting abroad. Or you may simply want to get more out of a forthcoming trip or visiting a second home.
Our business languages co-ordinator will discuss your requirements, talk you through the options and prepare an individual language training proposal which will take into account your needs as well as providing cost details. Included in the cost of the training is access to the Language Study Area for the duration of your course.
Languages Offered
Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Types of Language Training
- Intensive training consists of 4 hours of tuition per day, with a total of 20 hours per week. This solution is ideal for individuals who are moving abroad and need to learn, or brush up, the language quickly.
- Semi-intensive training consists of 2-3 sessions a week. Sometimes a semi-intensive start can give an initial boost which is then followed by a weekly class.
- Weekly training consists of 90-minute or 2-hour weekly classes taken over several months, depending on individual needs. This is the most popular type of language training and is well suited to those not under pressure to learn the language quickly. The end result will be identical to the two previous approaches but it will require more time.
All our courses offer flexibility and focus on individual needs. They may have an online dimension if required and are of the high quality associated with a leading University. We are a government approved language trainer.
English Language Teaching
As well as foreign language training, we also offer English Language Training (for non-native and native English speakers), online courses, cultural briefing and training needs analyses.
Evening Language Courses
We also run Evening Language Courses throughout the year in a variety of languages and levels.
