What are the benefits of providing English Communication Skills training?
- Improved communication – English training can be tailored to your needs so that your staff communicate better with colleagues and customers. But not only that, they will become more confident and improve relationships in the workplace.
- Improved application process for EU Settlement Scheme – If you are helping your employees to applying for settled or pre-settled status as part of the EU Transition from the EU single market and customs union then you may be having difficulties trying to get documentation in order due to the language barrier.

Course design
At CLT Ltd, we will discuss your requirements with you and then design a course to meet your objectives. Our training courses suit delegates of all English levels from Beginner to Advanced. We can incorporate as much sector-specific and job-specific content as required. For example, if you are in the hospitality industry we can focus on improving verbal communication skills in their daily job role with customers and colleagues. In addition, we can incorporate your company materials into the training such as H&S manuals and training manuals. Read more about our English for Hospitality training. We can also focus on the English skills of British staff. For example, business writing skills for writing emails and reports. Our training is flexible and when other areas for improvement appear during the training we can work on them too.
Our training courses
Depending on your requirements, you can choose to have 1-2-1 or a group training course (up to 15 people) and intensive or weekly sessions. We also provide online language training if you are unable to attend regular sessions in one location. And it’s not just English, we can deliver training in over 20 different languages. In addition, we offer online Accent Reduction training for both British and foreign delegates.
Location
Our highly-experienced tutors will come to your place of work on a day and time agreed with you for your convenience. However, due to Covid restrictions, we are finding that many businesses are limiting the number of additional people coming onto the premises. For this reason, we can also set-up virtual training where your staff will have the training in your training room on-site but our tutor will appear via a video link. There is also the option to have your training online.
