Micro-Groups
If your prime need is the experience of working in a multinational environment, explaining, instructing, persuading and negotiating, a full day in a micro group will meet your needs. You will experience the full benefit of experimenting with and developing communicative skills with fellow participants of other nationalities and business cultures. In other words, “Exposure without risk”.
Levels
Because of their intensive, interactive nature we recommend Micro-group 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. They share the need to function effectively in English in work situations where group interaction is paramount.
Trainers
The morning trainer and the afternoon trainer liaise daily to ensure perfectly integrated training based on the CLT System©.
Testing and Grouping
Groups are formed on the following basis:
- Pre-arrival information (registration form, telephone contact).
- Interview with each participant on arrival.
- A back-up placement test on arrival.
Training Certificate
Each participant receives a certificate of training outlining the components of the training.
Training Assessment
After the training we provide a detailed written assessment analysing current strengths and weaknesses, with suggestions for future learning strategies. The assessment contains input from both trainers and the Managing Director.
Post-training tutorial
A personal video presentation, analysed, corrected and reformulated by CLT, is sent to the participant after training.
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.
