The international nature of our company means that our employees have already had the chance to attend language courses for many years. Communication with our contacts at the Berlitz language school is and always has been professional. Most lessons over the last three years have been online, but the technical options this brings about have also made things extremely efficient. Theindividual support provided by Berlitz and its broad portfolio of training formats enable us to offer suitable learning options to all of our employees. I’d like to thank Berlitz for the strong partnership, which has always been one of mutual trust.

The individual language courses have been extremely well received by our employees and we’re pleased to have so many colleagues able to communicate with each other in English, German, and Italian. Aside from the communication advantages, it’s really nice to see our colleagues interacting and building even stronger ties with one another. Also, for the first time we offered our managers intercultural coaching last year using the Cultural Navigator® tool. The coaching sessions made it possible to address and deal with personal challenges at work. Combined with the accompanying e-learning parts of the Cultural Navigator®, the coaching sessions have made a significant contribution toward improving intercultural skills, such that it will be a lot easier to deal with any future challenges. We’re looking forward to many more years of collaboration!””

The English and German courses offered by Berlitz in different locations have been particularly beneficial because teams collaborating with colleagues in different countries and cities is part of everyday life at Computacenter.

As a hotel company that’s expanding rapidly throughout Germany, it’s important for us to work with partners that not only offer a wide range of services, but also focus strongly on service quality and offer a high degree of flexibility. We have found the reliable partner we need in the Berlitz Institute, which is 100% committed to supporting our employees with all aspects of language development.

We opted for the Berlitz Connect e-learning platform as the perfect complement to our existing face-to-face language learning, since it allows our employees to work on their language skills independently and according to their individual needs. The Berlitz Connect learning tools are especially helpful and are used a lot – for instance to assist our employees with writing emails and letters in the foreign language. Overall, the effective coordination of face-to-face and online language instruction is a major advantage of working with Berlitz.”

We have been pleased to work with Berlitz for more than ten years in building our employees’ language skills. Thanks to the thorough preliminary discussions, the participants receive instruction that is tailored to their needs – including specialized professional language. We very much appreciate having Berlitz as a central point of contact for organizing the training.

I was allowed to organize the English courses for our company, which are provided and run by Berlitz. Personally, I derived great pleasure from working with them, not only because it was so amiable and pleasant, but also because it was also extremely professional and reflected a high level of dedication. Regarding the course participants, I regularly received highly positive feedback on how the courses were conducted, and from the progress reports I could see that the course participants made quick and good progress. I would recommend the approach to language courses to any company.

We’re 100% happy with the quality of Berlitz – right from the personal and individual advice beforehand, which makes it much easier for us to plan and run the language courses. Thanks to the dedicated trainers, the courses have been a source of inspiration to our employees and that’s motivated them to learn. And last but not least, it’s worth highlighting the professional support when difficulties arise, which focuses on finding a solution.
Thank you so much – to everyone at Berlitz.

Collaboration between Berlitz and our HR development department is going extremely well. It’s about as uncomplicated, supportive, and flexible as it gets.
Our key contact is always available and 100% reliable. I couldn't imagine a better long term partner, not just for all kinds of issues relating to language courses, but also for specialist seminars and coaching topics, and I can recommend Berlitz without reservation.

Klinikum Saarbrücken employs around 2,200 people and is one of the biggest employers in the region. Given the shortage of skilled nursing staff, we decided to lighten the burden on the existing team by recruiting nursing staff from abroad, which would also strengthen the team. To train new nursing staff from abroad, our hospital turned to Berlitz as a provider of language services. Within the space of eight months, Berlitz trained no less than 23 qualified nurses in Mexico – up to B1 level, which is required for obtaining a visa – and they were prepared on intercultural aspects affecting their future in Saarland. Berlitz has also continued to support our new nurses after arrival and is working with them in small groups in rooms at our training center to prepare them for the German B2 exam, which they need to gain full recognition as registered nurses. We and our new nursing staff have always felt very well looked after and advised by Berlitz, especially given the situation with the ongoing pandemic during the subprojects in Mexico and Germany. As an experienced service provider, Berlitz has demonstrated its international expertise and competence.”

(…) It also goes without saying that we do not turn a blind eye to the prevailing shortage of skilled workers. We never lose sight of our dedicated team of around 2,000 caregivers, providing them with support and assistance, for example by regularly recruiting qualified nursing staff from Latin America.
This year alone, we have successfully brought 28 qualified caregivers to Homburg from Mexico. Before welcoming them on board, they were prepared for their future in Saarland with language and intercultural training. To do this, we decided to use Berlitz. As a global and local provider of training services, Berlitz is in a position to offer us a variety of services from a single source.
From the very beginning, our nursing staff made very quick progress and reported that they feel well looked after at all times. This was particularly important to us, since the pandemic meant that language training and all meetings and discussions with specialist staff could only take place virtually. The team at Berlitz also provides language support after our newly recruited specialists arrive at the UKS, accompanying them on the journey toward official recognition as care workers.
We have already embarked on the next project in Mexico and, based on the extremely satisfactory collaboration until now, we have again chosen Berlitz as a professional and reliable training partner.

Berlitz has allowed us to extend the languages we offer to include German as a foreign language and Dutch. One thing I’d point out in particular is the flexibility offered by Berlitz and that you have the possibility to tailor training to individual needs. There was detailed up-front discussion to ensure we set the bar at the right height so our employees are neither under-challenged nor overchallenged, and that they really enjoy taking part in the training courses. The high standards and the personal support have made it fun working with Berlitz and they can definitely be recommended to others.

As an international company, what we most appreciate about Berlitz is its many locations around the world. The many learning options, such as face-to-face instruction and the Berlitz Online Classroom, offer our employees a variety of solutions tailored to every individual learning need. In addition, our employees are able to use the Berlitz Connect e-learning platform to expand their personal language development outside the regular learning program. The direct support and professional advice from Berlitz helps us keep things running smoothly.

We have trusted Berlitz’s expertise since 2017 and have expanded our partnership since then. We book language instruction and intercultural training for our employees. The language classes are conducted quite flexibly, and the variety of formats, such as Live Online and blended learning, let us offer courses across sites. This also lets employees who are traveling for business, working shifts, or working from home participate without any problems. An additional advantage is that the reliable Berlitz team takes care of almost all of the organization, which has significantly reduced our administrative work.

At first we were looking for an entirely online solution for English instruction. Because of renovations, we weren’t able to conduct face-to-face training on our premises. After looking at several service providers, we chose Berlitz. Following a pilot phase, the participants and the HR department were equally impressed with the benefits of the virtual version – functionality, flexibility, and learning progress. Today a lot of people at our company use the platform and apply their new knowledge on the job. The instruction provided by Berlitz boosts employee satisfaction, which helps contribute to employee retention.

We discovered Berlitz Blended Learning and came to value it greatly – especially Berlitz Connect and one-on-one instruction over the phone. The course set-up was excellent both for beginners and more advanced participants. Everyone who took part was able to improve their language skills, as clearly demonstrated by a comparison of the initial assessment tests and the final tests that all participants took. The phone-based instructions were excellent and adapted to the participants’ individual wishes and abilities. The great support was the icing on the cake.
