 English is the preferred language of international
business communication. In our increasingly
globalised world, more and more business people
need an understanding of English whether this is to
assist in marketing and negotiations or to facilitate
communication with partners from other countries.

The Interlanguage guarantee of quality

We are a small institution founded in August 2006 with a
select team of native speakers from both an educational and
professional background working closely together to meet the
individual needs of our clients. Our success is built on personal
contact with our clients. We specialise in MBA pre-sessional
language training, specialist seminars and needs-based learning
in group or one-to-one format. We know how important it is for
our clients to feel in command of their communication skills
when working in a global market, and how difficult it is to find
the time to achieve this. When you decide to train with us, you
are entrusting us with your irreplaceable time which we know
cannot be refunded. We would therefore like to give a personal
guarantee to you that the time you invest with us will be exploited
to the full. We also guarantee that we will provide you with the
best possible language training programme.
As language training consultants, we are experienced in
identifying language needs appropriate to the learners’
working context. It is our pleasure to advise you honestly and
cost-effectively. If we think our courses are not suitable for your
particular needs, we will say so. It is not in our interest to sell
you a course which is not appropriate for you or your colleagues.
Our reputation depends on your success. High quality personal
service, flexibility, identification with our clients‘ needs: these
are our key qualities that you can rely on.
