In today’s hyper-connected world, companies know that the language barrier can be a major obstacle to their development and ability to compete.
BTL’s language training courses are tailor-made and practical, designed to meet professional objectives:
- general language skills for presentations, meetings and email correspondence,
- language specific to the learner’s profession, whether in finance, insurance, medicine, IT or any other sector
They enable your teams to:
- Communicate with ease and chair international meetings
- Write clear professional documents and emails
- Gain confidence when travelling abroad
Whether face-to-face or online, your teams will find a training format that suits them
Language learning at BTL is fully tailored to the individual, whether you are at elementary, beginner or advanced level.
Before each training programme begins, we carry out a comprehensive language assessment: a placement test based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), combined with a needs analysis and a personal interview.
As a result, every employee benefits not only from a personalised programme but also from a tailored course format: online or face-to-face learning, one-to-one or in small groups, weekly or intensive classes – depending on their pace and needs.
Choose what works for you:
Build a relationship with a dedicated native or bilingual teacher
In the AI era, we know all too well both the advantages of digital and the limitations of industrialised learning. Overcoming the challenge of speaking up in a foreign language and knowing how to land your point with sensitivity require conversational practice with a real person.
All BTL trainers are qualified to teach a language that they themselves master perfectly. Whether they are native speakers or bilingual, they have an in-depth knowledge of the language’s culture. On average, they have been teaching for 14 years.
Each one also has professional experience that enables them to understand your own situation: before qualifying as teachers, they worked as insurers, managers, actors or IT specialists…
At the heart of each training course is a professional partnership between the learner and their dedicated trainer, making learning engaging and effective.
