Usually, the level B2 is necessary to able to speak fluently in a business environment. There are 2 sub-levels per level, i.e. B1.1 and B1.2, and for each level completion you will need between 45 and 60 hours. Starting from scratch and aiming for B2 by intensive 1:1 training is an expensive support, thus, we recommend to start with intensive 1:1 and then change to group learning or continue with an online tool and seek for examination preparation only when it comes to higher levels.

We provide language lessons for adults and children in a combination of face-to-face lessons and on-line lessons, so expats and their families can choose the lesson format that best suits them. Teachers are flexible, always aiming to fit the classes in with the pupils' schedules.

Living in the 21st century, no matter where we are physically located, we are all citizens of one world thanks to the information exchange by the internet and other constantly evolving technologies. As open and tolerant we are, when we find ourselves in a completely new environment, not only language-wise but also culture-wise, we need help to acclimatize.

Our Culture Packages follow a complex approach focused on increasing the knowledge and skills one requires to adjust to a new culture as much, and as quickly as possible. This involves the professional training of employees focusing on the cultural differences between the country of origin and the host country, between the nationalities and/or religions.

We will discuss, together with, which are the preferred topics of interest, for the employee, the spouse or the children. The culture coach will then prepare a training streamlined to these topics of interest. Our relocation guide as well as our blog publishes helpful insights intop German culture.

The Cross-Cultural Training is a highly benficial training when conducting business where people of various nationalities are involved. The thorough understanding of the culture of each country is essential for the success of any business operation. After all, anyone who wishes to work internationally is required to have intercultural competence skills. Low cultural sensitivity can result in poor client relationships as well as loss of business.

On the other hand, a well-designed Cross-Cultural Training can improve your international meetings, international communications (both face-to-face and technology based) as well the exchange and implementation of your ideas and actions.

Our trainings will be customized to the cultures and business backgrounds relevant to you.
