The training formats:

Self-learning platform

The integrated platform offers students flexible and target-oriented language training that is adapted to their needs. At the beginning, the participants set their learning goals and the areas upon which they wish to focus. We will then create an individual learning pathway for them based on their language level. 

The platform trains all four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. It does this by making use of current, interesting content in the form of videos, news texts, audio learning units and much more.

At the beginning, you will carry out an extensive free placement test and you will determine what your subject areas and learning goals are to be. This means that the course will be adapted to:

  • The initial goals
  • The learning contents that are relevant for the participants
  • The skills that the participant wishes to train, such as making telephone calls, presentations, meetings, negotiations and e-mail communication
  • The desired vocabulary; this occurs by means of personal vocabulary lists that include translations and individual exercises

Each language course consists of a progressive, dynamically constructed curriculum with a learning objective that is clearly defined and that is oriented to the CEFR level. 

Options:

  • Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Danish and Dutch
  • Duration: 6 or 12 months

Costs:

  • 6-month licence: 115 euros 
  • 6-month licence for Polish, Danish and Dutch:  230 euros

In-house training

During internal training sessions, you will learn alone or together with your direct colleagues at your company premises. The course will take place in your company or virtually during working hours between 6 am and 8 pm. Training courses should fundamentally not exceed 6 months in length.

Flexible individual training for fast language success!

Individual training is a target-oriented language course that enables individual and fast success in the foreign language. The emphasis is on personal communication between the participants and the trainers. You determine the topics to focus on and the specialist areas in which you would like to acquire language knowledge. The training is supplemented with individual role plays, case studies as well as vocabulary and grammar exercises.

We carefully analyse your needs in a one-on-one conversation with the help of a specialised questionnaire and we design a tailor-made learning programme for you: You decide the schedule, the pace and the content of your learning.

Internal face-to-face group training courses

The training course is geared to practical use and it encourages the participants to use the relevant foreign language in daily communication right from the beginning.

The classes can be adapted especially to the requirements in the company, enabling the participants to learn how to communicate properly and professionally during their working day. In this way, the knowledge that you have acquired can be directly put into practice.

Our tried and tested weekly courses take place on your premises and they will consistently expand upon and solidify your language knowledge. However, you will still have to regularly take part in the classes and do the homework that we give you. The joy of learning, the fun you will have in the lessons and the improvements you constantly make will make learning the foreign language easy.
