Language Consultation
In order to design a course which meets all your business needs, we offer a free language consultancy which takes place before the start of your Spanish business training course.
Assuming you are not in Spain, this can take place over the phone in English if you feel more comfortable. During this conversation your specific Spanish Business course requirements will be discussed.
We can talk about the business situations where you might be required to use your new language skills, and the work-specific terminology you would need when using the Spanish language.
We will advise on the best way of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a specific Spanish training course to suit your needs and desires.
