Language Training Services
Our executive language courses comprise modules that are taught at a student’s workplace. The offer proposes either group or private sessions, in-company and/or distance learning courses via the ile-online.com platform. We also offer a Blended Learning service.
All study programs are structured based on the results obtained from a preliminary placement test that each new student needs to take to determine the initial proficiency level and specific language needs. This information is complemented by interviews with the prospective student in order to pinpoint specific communication goals. An important aspect of the service we provide is follow-up and strict monitoring to ensure progress and achievement of communication goals with the students.
Private lessons
These are private classes for a single executive where the teacher’s attention is focused on the development of interactive communication skills with the student. The program is structured based on the student’s specific learning objectives and according to the student’s ability to assimilate and manage information. Recommended for middle and senior managers with specific communication needs in English or another language. Distance learning sessions are also available for this service.
Group classes
Classes for small groups of up to 7 participants working with one or several teachers simultaneously. The sessions allow for significant progress in the process of language acquisition through intensive practice. The service is monitored by the academic coordination to ensure high performance, making the necessary adjustments in the level of information and reporting progress to HR managers. Recommended for companies which require efficient programs with quick results, as well as groups of employees who have a homogeneous level in the language.
Express language training courses 
Programs can comprise 10, 15 or 20 hours of training to reinforce communication skills in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French in order to manage a specific task or event. Work is focused on a particular communicative task or skill. Sessions are available face-to-face or in distance learning modes. Recommended for people who need to be operational very quickly in a specific area or for a particular event. These courses improve self-confidence with the participant to express himself proficiently in the target language.
Frequency of training modules
