		Private Corporate Groups

We offer closed groups for company employees and a specialised programme to suit the needs of the company.

Need Analysis

The first step is for us to visit you to discuss further your needs, to look at the type of English your staff need in the workplace, at their background, general aims and objectives, plus the desired pattern of training.

Testing

Once you have identified the staff who need training, we will carry out testing. This consists of a written exam followed by an individual interview with an examiner. The results of the two tests enable us to pinpoint the level of English of that particular employee, and also to ascertain their own individual needs. Testing can take place in the company or in our premises. The test fee is 50 UAH per person.

			The results for all employees and an interpretation of the levels.
