Your team’s training journey

Seven-step corporate English training journey: needs consultation, participant diagnostic, course design, interactive training, progress review, final workplace English performance task, and report and recommendations.

The participant diagnostic establishes starting English levels and helps set each cohort's workplace English focus. The final task checks how participants use English in a relevant workplace situation.

Practise. Get feedback. Try again.

Practice and feedback cycle: model and prepare, breakout-room meeting simulation, trainer targeted feedback, and participants repeat the task with clearer language.
