What is a corporate course?
  • This service is for individuals or groups who cannot make our Regular Public Courses but who require English for their professional development.
  • Our courses lead towards an internationally recognised exam.
  • Training times and frequency can be flexible according to your needs.
How can you monitor the progress of your employees?
  • Before training, your employees complete a 30-60 minute placement test, which is used in all of our Teaching Centres around the world. It provides our clients with the information they need to monitor their staff’s progress and ensures the training is at the appropriate level.
  • During the training programme students are evaluated through continuous assessment, including written homework, by their teacher.
  • We can send you detailed reports at agreed intervals (usually after every 30 hours of tuition), which summarise the attendance and progress of the students.
Specialised Training Programmes
  • To suit the needs of employees’ in a specific employment sector.
  • Before training we test your employees’ level of English and carry out needs analysis. We consult with you throughout the process to ensure the programme meets your business needs.
Business English
  • As well as covering the major elements of English grammar and vocabulary, the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are developed within a business context.
  • Skills are developed in areas such as presentations, negotiations, language of meetings and business correspondence (reports, business letters, e-mails).
  • This training can also be delivered in intensive one or two day workshops.
General English
  • Focusing on communication and developing reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.

Our Business and General English Courses (usually) lead to an appropriate (Cambridge ESOL) exam.

Preparation for International Exams
