Online, face-to-face or blended learning?
We offer flexible training models which are appropriate to the working environment and operational schedules of each project.
If face to face training is not possible, because of Covid-19 restrictions or other factors, all our language courses can be delivered remotely by instructor-led online classes.
Our blended learning programmes, incorporating e-learning modules, instructor-led virtual classes and an innovative Client Hub, are ideal for delivering training to remote locations, such as offshore facilities. These hybrid programmes also permit training of groups based in multiple locations and can accommodate shift patterns, allowing training to be scheduled 24/7 for 365 days a year.

We deploy highly qualified English teachers with relevant industry experience to many locations. Ensuring our customers comply with local content requirements, our teams often combine expatriate specialists with outstanding local instructors.

National workforce development
With technical training partners, we have been involved in many long-term programmes which exist to develop the language and technical skills of national and regional workforces.
Examples range from economic-offset programmes supporting “Saudisation” in KSA, to long term apprentice training programmes in Indonesia and Azerbaijan.
The specialist English language training we provide to support such programmes is often considered by clients to be a crucial part of the structure of a successful technical training programme.
