Learn English in the UK
Learning in the UK is the best way of improving your written and spoken communication skills in English. You will develop a richer understanding of how the language is used by living and working in an English speaking environment. You will also get the benefits of being able to involve yourself in the culture and way of life through living and working in the UK.
Robertson Languages International offer bespoke English language training for:
- business executives, whose first language is not English, living in the UK
- co-located and accompanying families
- business executives based abroad but who wish to gain the benefits of learning English in the UK
English for Business Executives Living and Working in the UK
We offer tailored language training programmes for business executives posted into the UK from another country. This can be for individuals or groups of people from the same company who are/will be living and working in the UK.
We will work with you to assess the proficiency level you need to live and work successfully in the UK. Where there are specific needs, due to the industry or role you are in e.g. finance, law, marketing, giving presentations, writing reports, we will make sure you are fully equipped to work effectively in those environments.
Your training programme will be developed with you to fit with the time you have available. You can take an intensive course e.g. half-day or full-day every day or weekly lessons over several months. Your lessons can be arranged throughout the UK or at our training centre near Reading, Berkshire.
Who should book these courses?
- Anyone already living in the UK who needs to improve their English quickly for their work.
- Human resources departments and line managers who need to support relocated personnel by improving their English and cultural understanding to raise performance.
English for Co-Located and Accompanying Families
A move to a new country brings opportunities to learn about other cultures and ways of life. For some people their relocation can be a little daunting. For the partners and family of executives posted to the UK, supporting a smooth transition is not only important for the family but also for the executive. They have their own transitions to make as they start a new role in a new country without worrying about how their families will cope.
For this very reason Robertson Languages International offer language training for families and spouses so that they can improve their English and become familiar with the culture as quickly as possible. We have special expertise in this type of training and can provide flexible arrangements for all ages and proficiency levels. Please contact us to discuss your unique requirements.
Who should book these courses?
- Business executives who want their family to settle quickly into life in the UK
- Human resources departments and line managers who need to help the families to settle so that the employee can work without anxiety
- Relocation companies who want to offer this service to their clients
Business English for Executives not living in the UK
You may be someone whose first language is not English who needs to have better English written and spoken communication skills to work effectively with colleagues and customers.
What better way to improve your skills than with one-to-one training in England? You can have a programme tailored to your specific needs. This might be intensive training for up to 40 hours per week or semi-intensive training for up to 20 hours per week. We can provide you with this type of training throughout the year, depending on when it is most suitable for you. You select your own lesson times to fit around business visits or holidays.
Following a telephone assessment, we plan your programme with you to meet realistic targets so that you can use your time in the UK effectively. Our experienced business English trainers will help you to reach your targets using a variety of methods, teaching materials and approaches which are relevant to your area of work.
