Business courses
Many French companies are not doing enough to equip their staff with English language skills according to the latest research. The study published in Les Echos, found executives in 120 top French firms had an adequate understanding of the English language but lacked the practice and vocabulary to communicate fully.
This is why we have devised a number of English language courses for businesses. We offer complete immersion programmes for businesses here in France without having the expense or inconvenience of travelling abroad.
The benefits of staying with English people is you will only hear and speak English during your course. You may even begin to think in English even after your stay.
Each course is designed to individual needs and a total immersion in English will dramatically improve your confidence and communicative skills.
In the past we have held courses for businesses involved in the travel, tourism and mechanical engineering/automotive industries. But we can design a course to suit any type of business.
