Language courses

Corporate language training is a type of language instruction that is designed specifically for businesses. It focuses on teaching employees the language skills they need to succeed in their jobs, and it often integrates elements from the workplace environment into the curriculum.

Berlitz IL offers a variety of corporate language training options, which can be chosen separately or combined. Corporate language training can help businesses improve employee communication, increase productivity, and expand into new markets.

Offering language courses to your employees can help you retain them and develop a pool of new talent who could become your future leaders. Bilingual employees are also more productive from an operational standpoint as they can communicate with customers and colleagues from different cultures, which can lead to better understanding and collaboration.

The benefits of corporate language learning are numerous. For example, it allows your employees to work internationally. This can be done by relocating them to a foreign country or working with clients or partners from other countries.

Also, bilingual or multilingual employees can advance their careers more easily. This is because they are more marketable to employers and can command higher salaries.

Your employees will also learn new skills useful for their professional careers. Research suggests that mastering another language can help with conflict management and cross-cultural communication. This is because it allows people to understand different perspectives and communicate more effectively with people from different cultures.

We offer various options so you can find the language courses that fits your company needs and budget:

  • In-person courses with a teacher. These courses can be private, semi-private, or group courses (up to 8 people). We also offer private, intensive courses if you need your employees to learn a language fast.
  • Online courses with a teacher. These courses follow the same standards as our in-person courses but are more flexible.
  • Self-paced study. Your employees gets a 24/7 access to our learning platforms and can learn a new language when and where they want.
  • Blended learning: self-paced study with live online coaching sessions. The best of both worlds, 100% remotely.

We also build customized learning options based on your needs. Contact us for more details.

The best professional language course will depend on several factors, such as the target languages, the number of learners, or your budget.

At Berlitz Israel, our general rule of thumb is:

  • If you want customized and intense language lessons, then we recommend you to choose a private course, either in-person or online
  • If you want to train several employees together so you can also build cohesion and create social interactions, our group courses are your best options
  • If you want to train a large number of people without bothering to adapt to everybody’s schedule, our self-learning options such as Berlitz Flex are your safest pick. Berlitz Flex also integrates live coaching sessions with an instructor.
