FAQs

How many sessions are included in one course?

This is in your hands and you decide when you have reached your own goals. Most clients see the benefits and appreciate the help of the weekly exchange in their day-to-day business, so courses continue for months and years. We advise that a minimum of 3-4 months is necessary to ensure the time invested has been beneficial.

How quickly can my course start?

This depends on a number of factors and availability of trainers. However, normally once the contract has been signed, we are able to start within 2-3 weeks. 

How do you assess the level of my English before we start?

Clients who choose the Group training product for their employees receive a free online English language test for each participant, before the course begins. This enables us to ascertain how many groups will be required and assign each team member to the correct level of course. Clients who choose our 1:1 training product have an individual Needs Analysis session which enables us to also assess the level of English. 

How can I measure my progress?

Every person learns differently. It is our aim to very quickly establish each person’s learning behaviour and adjust our learning model to best fit them. We usually find that after about 6-9 weeks you will start to notice a substantial difference in levels of confidence and understanding. You will see the benefits of the routine of practice and taking time out of your day for Business English training. Progress then continues at a steady rate as you delve deeper into material and our aim is to then reach the goals you set out at the very beginning within the dedicated timeframe.
We are able to issue ‘Academy’ Certificates of Achievement for completed courses, should the company or individual require this. 

Can I postpone or cancel my sessions?

We understand that professionals lead busy lives and meetings can be called ad-hoc. Therefore. group courses and 1:1 training can be postponed up to two sessions in a 3-month period, giving at least 24 hours notice. Any additional cancelled sessions will still be charged. We do advise that clients consciously dedicate time to their training, to ensure that they get the most out of this time, as possible. 

What costs can I expect?

As you have probably already realised, our products are tailor made to meet your requirements. Whilst each service has an approximate costing, the final price can vary depending on whether the course is online or in-house at your offices (meaning travel costs etc. are included), the duration of each weekly session, number of participants etc.) Contact us for an individual, competitive quote and we can discuss your questions and thoughts best by phone or E-Mail.
