Working internationally presents companies with challenges to develop their people to become capable, global leaders. If you need to interact more competently with others, we offer a variety of courses to enhance your worldwide capability.
Cultural competency is a skill for anyone working in a global organisation. We help people recognise and understand the inevitable cultural differences they encounter and develop the skills necessary to successfully manage these differences.
We offer tailored business and general English courses to help develop your speaking and listening skills, improve your fluency in English and to enable you to interact more effectively with colleagues and clients.
We offer inspiring and interactive language lessons at a convenient time, tailored to your own specific goals, with enthusiastic support and motivation from your own native-speaking personal tutor.
