1. Consultancy: A collaborative process to help you understand the current communicative ability of your staff and set targets based on what you need your staff to be able to do at work in English.
Using internationally recognised frameworks we placement test your staff to understand their current communication level and gaps, and then provide a report mapping different options to help you achieve your training requirements.
2. Programme Design: Our courses range from General English, with levels starting from Beginner through to Advanced, to specifically tailored courses and workshops to suit your organisation’s needs, both in content and duration. Examples include the following:
