Content-specific training makes the difference
Occupations or professions have a language of their own. Professionals in medicine, law, finance and defence use terms in specific ways and expect to see vocabulary that is unfamiliar to the layman.
Law A devi is someone to whom freehold land is given in a will.
Finance An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the first sale of privately owned equity (stock or shares) in a company via the issue of shares to the public and other investing institutions.
Medicine “croaking” is a term used to describe a particular breathing complication in new-born infants
Defence binary chemical munitions contain two chemicals, isolated in separate containers for safety, which react together when combined as a result of being armed or fired, producing a chemical agent.
Most areas of business also have their own jargon and preferred style of language. The documents and subject matter of meetings are quite different in the HR, marketing, finance and IT departments of any institution. Even in your own language that can be a challenge. Imagine having to know technical terms in a foreign language, whether it is your foreign colleagues on assignment in UK or your British colleagues working in a foreign language.
A tailor made language course that addresses the specifics of professions or functional areas of your business is vital. We provide languages training in English for nurses, doctors, accountants and sales people and courses in most languages for specific business or communication skills, such as Writing Reports, Giving Presentations, Interviewing, Leading Meetings, Customer Care, Sales Order Processing and many more.
