How to choose your
English training company
As a decision-maker, you’ve identified that some of your colleagues need to take their English to the next level. How to make sure you choose the right English training company?
Here are some questions you should ask to evaluate the different options and choose the most suitable English training company.
Can the English training company help you identify your needs and the optimal way to get results?
Realizing that your staff needs to improve their English is one step in the good direction. But can you translate it into actionable items? Probably not.
There are so many ways to improve your team’s English level: do they need to improve their speaking and communication skills? Do their presentations in English need a boost? Should they polish their emails in English? Should they expand their vocabulary around your specific industry?
A good English training company can guide you and show you the ways to work on what is needed and should also let you know when it’s outside of their scope.
With our corporate clients, we schedule a meeting with your HR team to discuss in-depth all these and many more aspects. We send you a proposal that will best answer your needs according to what we have discussed.
Does the English training company have experience with your industry/activity?
A professional English training is not just about the language. It’s also about understanding your industry so that we can deliver practical tools to handle professional situations in English. It is important to cover topics that matter to you and your company’s activity.
Live English is specialized in teaching English for HR, finance and accounting, and medical English.
What tools are put in place to supervise the English training properly?
As the initiator of an English training for your organization, you want to make sure that the people who participate in the training are attending the classes and that it is effective (they are making progress).
At Live English, our training includes a supervisor account where you can monitor in real-time attendance and get a progress report for each participant.
What is unique with the English training company? Is this compatible with your needs?
Every training company is different and their unique value proposition has to resonate with you.
Our focus at Live English is to help professionals gain fluency. We feel that speaking skills are the most important skills to acquire in English because they allow our students to communicate with a wide variety of people like overseas clients, colleagues, and partners.
Who are the teachers and how are they trained?
Is it important for you to have native-English teachers or do you prefer teachers who speak your mother tongue?
Both have value but they address different needs. Teachers who speak your mother tongue can be reassuring to lower level participants but they might not have the cultural background they could acquire through the lessons.
Native-English teachers are not suitable for beginners but are great for people who have an intermediate to advanced level. Through the lessons, you can experience full immersion into the English language without leaving the office. Participants hear a genuine English accent. They improve their listening comprehension and their fluency, and they get a feel for the culture in different English speaking countries.
Live English’s teachers are exclusively from English speaking countries. They have both teaching and professional experience, and they are trained to our method through regular team sessions.
If you are thinking about implementing English training sessions for your company, we’ll be happy to help you and see if we can be a good match for your team.
