Cross Cultural Training | Local Language Programs

How can we help with language and culture training?

Adapting to a new country can be difficult. Whether you’re moving to a new country alone, with a family, or if you’re moving internationally for work, it can be a daunting prospect. In fact, one of the leading causes of repatriation is the inability of expats to adapt to the local culture and environment.

We know that with the right help and guidance, we can help you avoid these pitfalls of relocation. Being prepared gives you the best chance of intercultural competence, which leads to successful international relocation.

Through effective cross-cultural communication training, you’ll gain an understanding of your new country’s culture, customs and the quirks that make it unique. That’s why we provide comprehensive language and cultural training courses to give you the confidence to begin thriving in your new home.

How does it work?

When you sign up for our language and culture service, you’ll be given an initial assessment so we can accurately gauge the level of training needed. If your knowledge is already at an intermediate level, you might need minimal training, or it could be a more comprehensive programme.

After the assessment, one of our foreign language and cultural specialists will provide the relevant learning material with everything you need to feel confident before moving to a new country.

Family training sessions

If you’re moving abroad with your family, your children will enjoy the chance to learn a foreign language and improve their communication skills.

We offer a fully customisable language and culture programme based on your personal preferences, designed to help you and your family communicate better in the local language.

Our flexible portfolio of services includes face-to-face training as well as self-paced e-learning, which is an ideal solution for busy families who are settling into new jobs and new schools. We can also accommodate requests for a blended language programme, which combines the best bits of both types of training, as well as cultural awareness training.
