Added value for companies
Well-functioning communication in everyday business requires speaking a common language. Good language skills open doors to the international business world and help with the integration of foreign-language employees. Good PC skills are just as indispensable in almost any professional activity today.

As soon as we have the go for the courses, we will send your employees an e-mail to take our online placement test or we will clarify which course is suitable. The language placement test consists of 25 multiple choice questions and can be completed in around 10 minutes. With the help of the results, we group your employees into classes, invite them to the courses after consultation with you and procure the teaching material.
