Closed Group
Small Group Language Courses for Business
Cactus will design and deliver an effective language course catering to the needs of any group.
We are experienced in working with both large and small corporations and organisations to bring flexible, efficient and cost-effective tuition. Our expertise in language training means that we're able to offer even the most complex multi-site group language training solutions.
Once we've agreed on proposal details, you can hand over the entire brief to us, and let us take care of contacting and testing course participants, forming groups, confirming start dates and diffusing information. Alternatively, you can step in and take control of any of these processes if you prefer.
Once a course is underway, you can view lesson reports from the trainer, track how many lessons have been taken, and access attendance registers through our online reporting system.
Materials are chosen according to the course plan. In most cases, a text book will form the spine of the course, and this will be supplemented, wherever appropriate, by extra materials.
As with any tailor-made course, we will take regular feedback from participants. This way, any issues can be immediately addressed by our Academic and Operations Teams, and we can ensure the course is of the quality you would expect.
Course set-up
Prior to the beginning of any tailor-made group course, the following will occur:
- Delegates will complete a Needs Analysis form and, if they are not complete beginners, a Language Level Test. Cactus can supply either a standard Needs Analysis form, or one designed specifically for your needs
- Delegates can undergo an optional 15-minute pre-course oral assessment by telephone with a Cactus trainer
- For company courses, Cactus will ensure the course is compatible with your Learning & Development Strategy.
A course plan will then be drawn up by Cactus, which will be discussed and, where necessary, modified with you/your delegates. Your Cactus trainer will be fully briefed prior to the start of the course.
I am thoroughly enjoying the course and I commend Elizabeth for being such a wonderful teacher. Her gentle and inclusive style is very much appreciated.
