Language as a success factor for organisations

In an international working environment, language is a key factor for success. It determines how effectively people collaborate and understand one another’s perspectives and cultures. Language contributes to:

  • more efficient onboarding of employees
  • a more inclusive working environment
  • better career opportunities and greater job satisfaction
  • more effective customer communication and commercial growth
  • safety in the workplace by preventing misunderstandings
  • and stronger (international) collaboration.

Frequently asked questions

Can we include specific learning objectives in the training?
Yes. We tailor the lessons to your learning objectives, from industry jargon and customer communication to pitch and presentation training, so that employees can communicate with confidence in their work environment right from the start.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, participants who attend 80% of the sessions will receive a certificate of attendance. An official final assessment is available to provide further evidence of proficiency. This allows you to demonstrate learning outcomes within your organisation.
How do you assess the participants’ level?
Each participant takes a placement test in advance, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We tailor the programme to their results and an initial consultation. This ensures participants start at the right level and see results in the workplace more quickly.
Will we be able to see how the participants are getting on?
Yes. Upon completion, you will receive a concise progress report detailing your attendance, language level and personal feedback from the teacher, so that you can clearly track your learning progress.
What is the cost of an in-house language course?
The price depends on the number of participants, the group size, the number of teaching hours and any specific requirements. You will always receive a bespoke quote tailored to your organisation’s objectives. Investing in language skills is investing in safety and collaboration. Request a no-obligation quote now.
How many employees can take part in a group training session?
For the best possible interaction, we recommend 4–12 participants per group. We split larger teams into smaller groups to ensure that everyone gets enough speaking time and personal feedback.
Can you deliver the training at our premises or online?
Certainly. You can choose between on-site training, our virtual classroom, or a blended approach. We’ll tailor the schedule and platform to suit your logistics.
Can we fit the training around working hours and shift work?
Yes, we schedule lessons flexibly around timetables and shift patterns, so that operations can continue uninterrupted. This ensures continuity whilst your team improves their language skills. Discuss your schedule with our advisors during a no-obligation consultation.
