Languages in the Workplace
If you speak more than one language and wish to use those skills throughout your career or refine them, bespoke commercial training in Translation, Interpreting and business culture is the answer.
Speaking a language is just the starting point
Speaking more than one language does not make a person a Translator or Interpreter. If someone speaks English, it does not mean that they could successfully write a publishable book in English - learning how to write is an additional skill. The same applies to using multiple languages professionally.
Our commercial Translation training and Interpreting training services are for people who already speak the second language, and need to enhance their skills in written Translation and/or verbal Interpreting.

We start by finding out where you are
To provide the optimal training package, it is crucial for us to understand where each learner is starting from. We assess each student to understand their current capabilities, specific areas of knowledge, and the areas in which they wish to excel - leading us to categorise learners as Elemental, Intermediate, or Advanced, and build course modules specific to each stage.
