St George International offers in-haus training

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Aug 3, 2011 -- The solution, says St George International (SGI), is sending teachers directly into the workplace.

The language school’s German courses are designed to be flexible and are offered on a one-to-one or group basis. Intensive and super-intensive options are available for businesses that require employees to undertake a crash course in the language. Alternatively, employees’ skills can be honed over longer periods of time.

St George International has been delivering competitively priced tailored foreign language training to UK companies for over 50 years. Starting off with a Ministry of Defence contract in the sixties, the school has since worked with the UK-based offices of clients such as Coca Cola, Ernst & Young, the United Nations, Nokia, BMW and Rio Tinto.

These companies understand the need for their employees to be conversant in German – the most widely spoken language in Europe. Germany is one of the strongest economies and export nations in the world and can provide a wealth of opportunities to businesses with German speakers in their ranks.

St George International also runs German language courses at its central London training centre. For employees undertaking German lessons London is an ideal centre from which to travel to mainland Europe. The Eurostar from London to Brussels takes just 1 hour 55 minutes and connects to a high-speed Thalys or ICE train that takes a further 1 hour 57 minutes to reach Cologne.

Outside of Germany, the language is spoken in 42 countries and is the tenth most widely spoken language in the world. Countries where German is spoken include Austria and parts of Russia, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Luxembourg, France, Denmark, Lichtenstein and Italy.

Because St George International has a nationwide pool of more than 2,000 native-speaker teachers, it can teach according to the client’s timetable – not the other way around. As well as German, the school offers Spanish courses in London, as well as programmes in more unusual languages such as Norwegian and Urdu.
