Language courses for companies and government institutions can be arranged both individually and in groups. Both types of courses are designed to meet the participants’ needs and are entirely tailor-made, both in content and in organizational aspects. Course days and times will be determined by what suits you best, not us. The course location will also be determined in mutual consultation, and we can even provide your course in-company.
In addition to language courses, we also give communication courses, such as our Intercultural Competence course. For further information about these courses, please click here.
All courses are preceded by an introductory meeting without obligations, during which the participants’ goals, the overall structure of the course and practical matters such as days, times and frequency will be discussed. The frequency can vary from full days during one or several weeks to a smaller number of weekly hours over a longer period. Please click on brochure [PDF] and rates for more information.
Below are a few of the other services offered by the Language Centre.
Testing
We can design language assessments for various professions on request, to test whether a current or prospective employee is sufficiently proficient in a certain language to be able to function adequately in his or her job.
We can also test proficiency levels in particular languages in order to determine whether an employee’s language skills are sufficient to work abroad.
Upon request, the Language Centre can take standardized tests to determine English language skills. The results are recorded in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference.
