Members of staff from porters and bartenders to waiters and Chefs de partie are all improving their English with CLT. Hawksmoor called in CLT to design tailored English packages for their international employees, with group classes ranging from beginners to advanced level. Staff from Hawksmoor restaurants in Air Street, Guildhall, Seven Dials and Spitalfields have all taken part in the popular training programme and feedback has been very positive: Will Beckett, Owner: “We noticed that we had people who were being held back by their lack of English – in and out of work – and it felt unnecessary for people to struggle over something so fundamental. We thought we could do something about it and the response from the staff has been great.” A bright future For the third year running, CLT have been asked to arrange language training for bright young students at the highly acclaimed JCB Academy in Rocester. Students at the Academy will work towards the ABC Practical Language Awards, which they have passed every year with flying colours. This year students will be concentrating on Mandarin with a business focus. JCB, whose World Headquarters are based in Rocester, is the world’s third largest construction equipment manufacturer and is well known for its iconic yellow diggers. CLT - Celebrating 25 years in global corporate language training English in the Peak District Peak District National Park Derbyshire Finally... As more and more companies turn to CLT for language training, here are a few more comments about our training programmes: Paris-based English tutor Claire Barre visited Derbyshire as a guest of CLT in order to experience for herself the amazing countryside and hospitality shown to her students at IT giant Sopra. Claire has been sending her students to CLT for their intensive English for Business training courses for several years in order to boost their language skills. Claire thanked the CLT team for the wonderful weekend and said: “A huge thank you for making me feel so welcome during my delightful stay in Buxton. The hotel was just lovely and the countryside must be some of the most spectacular I have ever seen. I was so happy to have been able to visit Chatsworth and the Goyt Valley in such glorious weather.” Spanish in Madrid - the fun way to learn! CLT has launched an innovative intensive Spanish course in Madrid. Delegates from companies in the UK now have the opportunity to learn Spanish in Madrid on a one or two week intensive Spanish course. Whilst improving Spanish communication skills, delegates also learn about Spanish culture and way of life – invaluable if you are doing business in Spain! Delegates study Spanish on a 1-1 basis during the mornings, and explore sunny Madrid in the afternoons, practising their new Spanish skills in real situations – eating ‘tapas’ or walking through the Plaza Mayor and Plaza Cibeles. Delegates from Telefónica in the UK are already taking advantage of these fantastic courses and the feedback has been first-class: “My week was excellent - I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was hard work speaking and hearing Spanish all day every day but worth it and it helped. I feel I have definitely improved. Angela was fantastic!” PA, Telefónica Digital “My French training was a great experience, my tutor conveyed enthusiasm and gave me excellent feedback after each session. I enjoyed every moment of my training cycle.” IT Engineer, BES “Our tutor is enthusiastic, energetic, understanding, warm, friendly and attentive to our needs. Learning with her has been a brilliant experience and I look forward to each lesson.” Project Manager, Network Programmes, Telefónica UK Ltd “Brilliant Teacher, perfectly pitched and a good mix of fun exercises and vocab and grammar. The Spanish course has increased my confidence speaking Spanish and was highly enjoyable!” Lawyer, Nabarro LLP “‘I am really enjoying my French lessons and love learning the language.” Training through Clients we have been working with: Marketing Executive, Dolefresh “‘I couldn’t be happier with the intensive English training.
