Training Formats

Teamwork is part of everyday life in a company. Learning English in a group provides an opportunity to practice real-world situations from everyday business before team members face those situations in their professional lives. Feedback on language and cultural differences in interactions in the safety of a training session lets participants build their skills and confidence, making them more effective team-members when they need those skills in the real world.

Materials for courses are determined by the needs of the company and the participants. Sometimes an excellent course book is the answer, but authentic materials from the company or the industry can also be integrated into lessons, meaning English lessons become more than just language lessons, they can:

• Help to keep employees informed about what other colleagues, departments, even the competition are doing.
• Motivate participants by providing a broader context for their work against the backdrop of current events and new advances.
• Keep team members up to date on new regulations, expert opinions, related topics.
• Introduce participants to new sources of highly relevant information, in English, to promote sustainable learning and interest outside the classroom.

E-learning and additional language-related material can provide further support outside of class to learners who need it.

Individual lessons are a flexible, efficient way to make progress fast. They can address a specific need, like presentation preparation, negotiation skills, or business correspondence; they can be taken for overall improvement of communication skills, grammar issues, or fluency building; or they can be used for any combination of those things and a hundred other goals you want to reach. You choose the intensity – from lessons every day to lessons on-demand when you need support.

Lessons can take place in your offices or ours. Times can vary from week to week, or we can set regular appointments so you can plan. If you need to cancel, just let us know 24 hours in advance (or Friday afternoon for a Monday lesson) so we can inform the teacher and re-schedule at no charge.

• Regular classes for sustainable improvement
• Small classes mean individual needs can be taken into account.
• New classes regularly

Combinations of course formats can be used to further support and enhance the learning process.

A flexible component combinable with any course format, e-learning is an excellent way to incorporate additional practice with immediate feedback into a course.

We work with several e-learning platforms to ensure that we can offer a solution for a variety of needs.

Is there a specific skill or topic your team members need to work on in English? An intensive workshop with one of our trainers can provide them with the practice they need. Depending on the topic(s) and language level needed, we recommend half-day, full-day or two-day workshops. These can be one-off sessions, or multiple sessions can be booked over a period of time that suits your company’s schedule.

Sample topics:

• Presentations
• Networking
• Telephoning
• Business correspondence
• Negotiations
• Language for special purposes
• Intercultural communication
• Other topics available upon request

As with all our courses, we can come to you or you are welcome at our location in central Stuttgart. We can also arrange virtual classrooms for those with staff further afield.
