12 How we create impact

14 Why partner with Hult EF?

26 Our offer
 A very warm welcome to Hult EF Corporate Education – the B2B division
combining the best of EF Education First and Hult International Business School.

When my father, Bertil Hult, founded EF over 55 years ago with the mission to
‘open the world through education’, I do not think he would have believed how the
company would grow and evolve. What started off as a small business has today
grown into a truly global organization providing education and experiences to
students, companies and governments around the world. That includes thousands
of corporate employees from leading international companies.

In 2002, we expanded our offering further by associating our existing EF business

with an independent, not-for-profit business school. That school became known
as Hult International Business School and today offers undergraduate, master’s
and MBA programs from its seven international campuses. Since 2015, Ashridge
Executive Education programs at Hult International Business School have been
consistently ranked in the top 20 schools globally for Executive Education.

2021 marks another moment in our history as we formally combine our B2B
focused divisions to form Hult EF Corporate Education. This new business
will allow us to provide even more support and even greater impact for our
corporate and government clients. In the context of an ever-changing world and
growing demands to rapidly and constantly upskill employees, Hult EF will help
organizations and executives of all levels to develop the most critical business
skills, attitudes and behaviors they need, now and in the future.

I very much hope you will choose us to support you on your learning journey.

“ Hult EF will help organizations and executives develop

the most critical business skills, attitudes and behaviors
they need, now and in the future.

 About us
We are a large, experienced global
education organization with the expert,
niche knowledge of a boutique provider.
Located on the site of King Henry VIII’s royal
palace, Ashridge has been a pioneer in practical
and experiential Executive Education for 60 years.
Founded in 1959, Ashridge joined forces with
Hult International Business School in 2015. Triple-
accredited with a consistently high global ranking,
it is known for ground-breaking leadership
thinking on EQ, action research, relational
coaching and transformational leadership.

EF Education First was created in 1965 by young
Swedish entrepreneur Bertil Hult, taking advantage
of a leap in international travel by opening English
schools in the UK for foreign students. These were
some of the world’s first experiential learning
programs – a simple but effective way to learn
which has helped EF become the world’s largest
educational organization.
With a mission to “open the world through
education”, EF has since helped millions of
people of all ages improve their language and
cultural fluency.

We believe in the power of people
– to inspire, to innovate, to collaborate
and to positively impact their teams, their
organizations and their societies

We believe in the transformative power

of learning – for businesses as well as
for individuals. Adding a new skillset
or changing a mindset opens up new
possibilities and can create lasting change

We believe in the power of human

connection – individuals learn better with
the support of a knowledgeable teacher and
when they feel part of a learning community
 The world is changing.
Globalization, automation, digitalization, social
change and new workforce patterns are all
placing fast-changing demands on businesses.
To respond, organizations need to invest in their
most important asset – people.

The critical competencies needed today are
increasingly those that help individuals navigate
change and disruption, encourage curiosity
and which enhance human connections:
communication, relational skills, collaboration
and cultural awareness, emotional intelligence,
personal resilience and leadership capabilities.
Your business needs
people who can build strong
human connections.
Learning and development teams are
tasked with equipping their workforce with
the skills, attitudes and behaviors to respond to
today’s challenges.
To do this, they need expert knowledge, local
support, and customized, integrated, quality
learning that creates results. They also need a
simple implementation process to save time and
money, as well as means of monitoring progress
and return on investment.
This is where Hult EF comes in.

 How Hult EF can help.

We help organizations and executives of all

levels to develop the critical skills, attitudes and
behaviors they need to be fit for the future.

We do this by

removing barriers to communication and

international collaboration;

helping to develop relational, collaborative

and emotional skills;

building leadership capabilities for all.

Our learning programs give you customized,

relevant business content with coaches,
teaching faculty and facilitators who
create meaningful and lasting change for
your employees.
On top of that, every program is easy
to implement, measure and prove return
on investment.

Hult EF has a global reach and is one of the
few players on the market who can consistently
support us locally. They often travel to meet with
key local HR people. It feels like a local, tailor-

 Examples of how we’ve
supported our clients

Business challenge: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

We helped a large international tech
company increase their proportion of
women in leadership roles through access
to English training.
The client was dissatisfied with the small
proportion of women in leadership roles.
English proficiency was identified as a key
factor in career progression.
Starting in Brazil, we helped the client by
providing large-scale language skills assessment
and relevant, flexible learning options. Together
with the client, we created an engagement
program for women including quarterly events,
incentives and study competitions – all supported
by the CEO and regional leadership.
As a result, recruitment of women in Brazil has
increased 13% in a year, language proficiency
has grown significantly and the program has now
been replicated in other major hubs.

12 hultef.com
Business challenge: Wellbeing and Resilience
A large professional services firm used our
coaching expertise to help employees improve
both their own resilience and wellbeing, as well
as that of their colleagues.
The firm have been leading the way for the
business group in supporting staff in these areas.
As a group of professionals, they wanted to reflect
on their own resilience and wellbeing during the
stressful period of the Covid pandemic.
Business challenge: Cultural Transformation
This airline worked with us to develop a set
of cultural and linguistic skills which helped
rebuild their strong customer service culture.
Famed for its customer service, the airline
worried that service levels were slipping as
their business grew internationally. A largely
domestic workforce and customer base had led
to low language proficiency and a lack of cultural
awareness that was holding them back.
You can find more case studies on hultef.com
A large group of executives attended an
interactive coaching session that allowed
everyone to experience coaching as a method, to
develop listening and feedback techniques, and
take new ideas back into the business.
Feedback from participants has been very
positive, with many positive messages about the
value and practicality of the content, the style of
delivery, and the opportunities to practice.
We offered access to our online English school,
focusing particularly on specialist content for
Aviation, Business and Hospitality, and built a
steering committee of business and HR leaders to
keep the project on track.
Staff are now more confident to speak up in
meetings and to deliver a high-quality experience
for their teams. Senior Learning and Development
have linked performance reviews and KPIs at
different seniority levels to our frameworks
and benchmarks.
 Five reasons to partner with us.
Our expertise, experience, ethos, and global
reach all contribute to making us the world’s only
education organization that can deliver all the
critical competencies your business needs today.

technology and learner data analysis, we can understand the learner

personalized learning experience.

We provide advanced learning analytics to measure

progress and impact
We know our clients care deeply about learner satisfaction and
growth as well as organizational impact. Each of our online learning

 We are learning experts.
Our practical and relational approach to
learning focuses on personalized and immersive
experiences to create impact for the individual as
well as the organization.

16 hultef.com
Our learning solutions are:
Holistic and humanistic
We blend ideas and perspectives to develop
the whole person, group or organization. We
excel at learning that enables personal growth;
focusing on challenging and expanding mindsets,
interpersonal skills, and people’s ability to shape
culture and processes.
Relevant
We employ simulations based on real challenges,
set within the client’s business context. Our
sessions and simulations are aligned with
business KPIs and link learning to real-world
needs, giving ample opportunities to demonstrate
professional impact.
Connected
Adults learn best through observation, reflection,
and interaction with others. We forge a high
degree of personal connection between and
with participants, creating a genuine learning
community with plenty of opportunities for
discussion-based learning that supports
confidence and interaction.
Immersive and experiential
Immersing yourself in a topic, language and culture
is the very best way to learn, whether online or in
person. We do this by providing exposure to real
life challenges in natural settings and creating a
safe space in which to experiment, supporting
learners to step out of their comfort zones.
 Renowned faculty,
expert teachers.
Whether within the field of language and
communication or executive education,
our academic faculty are experienced
professionals, equipped with the latest
methodologies and a large support network.
Executive education
Our Executive Education faculty are leaders in
their field, basing their programs on the latest
research and our solid academic foundations.
They have skills and experience as CEOs,
CFOs, entrepreneurs and HR heads. They
know the reality of business and focus on the
application of business, not just the theory. ​They
are professionals who educate, not lecturers
who lecture.
By being involved during simulations and program
experiences, faculty help participants make the
connection from theory to practical application
and transfer learning back to the workplace.
18 hultef.com
Language and communication
We only hire fully qualified teachers with a
degree, relevant teaching experience, and a
native-level command of the language. Many
of them also have significant business and
industry expertise.
We offer continuous professional development
and training for all of our teachers and give them
access to our Teacher Community, full of support
materials, tips, ideas and guidance.
Our teachers are evaluated through reviews of
their course outlines, observations of lessons,
the use of digital tools and, of course, feedback
from students.
 Innovation through technology
and academic research
We’re creating life-changing experiences through
cutting edge academic research and the use of
new technologies, making education more relevant
and immersive.
Nobody else comes close to matching our
investment in R&D for academics and new
technologies. With a large EdTech team in
London, Shanghai and Lucerne, we are hard at
work shaping the future of learning.
Using a combination of research and learner
data, we can understand the learner experience
from multiple perspectives. That means we can
build a more effective, more personalized and
more scalable learning experience, based on new
learning methodologies and learning content,
and all making use of the latest technology.
One example is our AI-driven learning
experiences. We process anonymous learning
data from thousands of teaching faculty and
millions of participants, enabling us to truly
understand the overall learner journey and to
make relevant recommendations to improve it,
ensuring greater impact for the individual.
20 hultef.com
What is an AI-driven learning experience?
An AI-driven learning experience means that it is
personalized and that it adapts to the learner’s
progress, feeding from their learning history and
manual data from those facilitating or teaching.
How does it work?
Within a few milliseconds of a new data
point being created, the information will
get processed, cleaned up and aggregated,
enabling the relevant platform to create the next
personalized recommendation.
Why does it matter?
It arms teaching faculty with the right information
about their learners, without interrupting the
lesson. And it suggests to the learners follow-
up exercises matching their needs, boosting
motivation and performance.

to the complexity of the modern business world.
In practical terms – we blend live virtual, face-to-
face, blended, and online self-study and place a
large emphasis on experiential learning.
Continuing the learning
Part of our ethos is to ignite a learning or growth
mindset in participants. We don’t believe the
learning ends when formal interventions have
finished. We follow up with action learning, peer
coaching and online playlists, and support you to
build this mindset internally.
Measuring success
We set our success targets at the start of every
program. This means we can deliver tangible
and transparent measurements of the program’s
impact across the organization.
