Training for companies and institutions

Formação para impresas e instituições - foto Mat Wright

"Tivemos um professor que se empenhou em perceber as dificuldades dos alunos e que os incentivou a fazer sempre melhor. Foi incansável a pesquisar as matérias que mais interessavam à turma em geral e a cada um em particular. Introduziu temas que considerava de interesse a fim de desenvolvermos o nosso vocabulário para uma boa comunicação intercultural, que foi o objetivo que norteou a realização deste curso"

We can help you and your organisation improve your English, and we can offer English and other professional tests and exams.

See which of our five packages is best for you, then contact us.

We are recognised by DGERT

1: Student discounts for organisation
Improve your training - send members of your staff to our classes. This means faster progress as individuals can study at their different linguistic levels.

We can give you a discounted fee, depending on the number you send us.

2: Our teachers on your premises
You can have our lessons on your premises.

We will send you a fully-qualified native-speaker level teacher who will teach groups or individuals where you work.

We will teach your staff our British Council English courses, but we can also offer various specialised courses: see Package 3...

3: Specialised courses, workshops and seminars
We can also provide training in Professional English and work-related skills.

Our Business English courses will help you to use English in a realistic working context, and you can include various training modules across a range of soft skills such as negotiations, presentations and report-writing.

We also offer Legal English and Financial English.

The courses can be on our premises or on yours.

For more details, read our prospectus below, or contact us.

4: Commission a workshop or course
Do you need a specialised course or workshop for a particular group or individual?

We can create a course or workshop especially for you, based on your needs.

The British Council is a global organisation, and we have access to a vast range of resources and skills. We can provide solutions to deliver what you want - from small-scale specialised one-to-one seminars to rich multimedia courses.

Contact Veronica Senior, our Special Language Services Manager, to discuss this further.

5: British Council Testing Service
Organisations often need to find out how well their staff speak or write English. This may be part of the recruitment procedure, or to allocate training resources, or a simple benchmarking exercise.

Our testing service can help. We offer our own testing procedures, as well as being a centre for internationally recognized language exams such as BULATS, BEC and IELTS.

We also act as a centre for many professional qualifications, such as ACCA, CFA, Open University and University of London exams.

Contact our Testing Service for more information on T 213 214 510.

Still not sure which is the best solution for you? Why not talk it over with us? We can help you to find how to achieve your training needs within a particular budget.
