Flexible Approach

We never adopt a one-course-fits-all approach, but start by conducting a thorough pre-training needs analysis, which comprises a detailed questionnaire about your previous learning, objectives, study period, language focus, and the degree of specialist topic content and vocabulary you require.

We also conduct a full language audit to assess each participant’s current knowledge. This takes the form of a pre-training written and oral assessment to ensure that your training with us starts the minute you walk into the training room.

Our Business English courses are all unashamedly outcome-driven. We set mutual learning goals, devise individual study plans and effective learning strategies, and regularly monitor your progress.

Very importantly, our highly-experienced Business English trainers do not stick rigidly to any single prescribed methodology, but will adopt a teaching style that complements your specific requirements. Course flexibility is always assured, leaving you in control and entirely free to direct the focus and content of your course at all times.
