Business English Programmes

The right training
for your team’s situation

Every organisation uses English differently. We design training around your communication goals, your team’s availability, and the professional context in which they work — not a one-size-fits-all course.
Choosing the right approach

The most effective training depends on your situation

Before recommending a programme, we want to understand how your team uses English today and what’s getting in the way. The right format depends on four things:
How often your team uses English at work
The type of communication involved — meetings, presentations, negotiations, emails
Whether you need short-term impact or long-term development
The urgency of the need
Our programmes
Three ways to work with us

Cross-cultural communication

English is rarely
used in isolation

In international workplaces, communication is shaped by culture, expectations, and ways of working. Speaking the same language is not enough — you also need to understand how culture shapes the message.

Where relevant, we integrate cross-cultural communication awareness into all our programmes to help teams avoid misunderstandings and communicate more effectively across borders.

“Sometimes speaking the same language is not enough… you need also to understand how culture shapes the messages. Sankofa helped me to improve my vocabulary and to be more effective communicating cross-culturally.” Aikins Mensa Director of Operations, Village by Village — Ghana
