Programmes

Intensive technical English, built for one department at a time

Every programme runs as a full-day, ten-day intensive on or near site. Content is built from your own documents — handover sheets, permits, work orders, OEM manuals, meeting packs — so the language transfers to the job immediately.

Operations English Intensive

10-day intensive for operations department managers and team leads

Designed for your field and/or specific production facility, these intensives give operations personnel the English they need to communicate confidently about the equipment, processes and workplace they work with every day. Participants develop the language to describe process flow and operating conditions, explain changes and abnormalities, coordinate with maintenance teams, and communicate equipment and production status.
