a commitment to quality for business and professional clients

Combination Training

Individualised programmes, combining Micro-Group and One-to-One training are designed in consultation with the Director, prioritising the best interests of the client and giving the opportunity to develop professional and social interactive skills, together with total concentration on individual choice - linguistic or professional.

One or two week combinations of Micro-Group and One-to-One training are offered throughout the year. They enable participants to benefit from linguistic and professional training focused on specific individual needs as well as developing communication skills through interaction with colleagues from other business cultures as well as other nationalities.

Levels

Because of the Micro-Group element we recommend Combination training from intermediate to advanced levels only throughout the year. (Groups at elementary level are formed at the discretion of the Managing Director).

Participant profile

Participants come from a wide spectrum of business, industrial and professional backgrounds. The Micro-Group element simulates group interaction in business and professional life. The One-to-One element focuses on the specific needs in each individual.

Trainers

The morning trainer and the afternoon trainer liaise daily to ensure perfectly integrated training based on the CLT System©.

1-week Combination

15 hours´ Micro-Group plus 15 hours´ One-to-One training - as all group training comprises 2 one-week modules, it is important to choose the most appropriate week for your level. Before registering the Managing Director will be happy to give further advice.

2-week Combination

30 hours´ Micro-Group plus 30 hours´ One-to-One training - we strongly recommend that participants start training on the first Monday of a Micro-Group course. The Managing Director is happy to give advice on these programmes and they will be individually structured in the best interest of the participant.

3-week Classic Combination

2-week Micro-Group Course (60 hours) plus 1-week One-to-One training (30 hours) - classic because it represents the ideal, if you have the time to spare!

What next?

A follow-up distance coaching service is also available, either by telephone or online. This can be customised to suit individual requirements and budgets.
