Language Support Services

Training Advice

We work closely with our clients to ensure the most appropriate courses and programmes to meet the requirements of the company and the needs of the learners. This includes giving indications of the progress which can normally be achieved with different approaches to tuition and the tailoring of programmes. Specialist programmes are available, if appropriate, for subjects such as telephone skills, etc.

Cultural Briefings

We can provide specially designed training programmes to assist teams and managers who are relatively new to working in other markets and cultures. This can help them prepare for the different approaches and styles which are used in different cultures. It can also help them approach their task with knowledge and understanding which will greatly assist acceptance by customers, clients and subordinates. Potentially embarrassing mistakes can be avoided.

Language Audits

Before a training programme starts, it is important to know the levels of language skills within the company. We have a team of experienced assessors, who can quickly grade the level of skills in most major languages.

Language Skills Assessment

We have a team of trainers with considerable experience in assessing language skills in a wide range of languages. This may be useful, for example, in assessing whether a person has language skills to a sufficient level for a new job.

Network of International Contacts

We maintain a large database of contacts working with a very wide range of languages. We are always pleased to hear from people who would like to use their skills in a business environment.
