The Durham Centre for Education

English as a Foreign Language for professionals abroad

and for businesses in the North East of England

Businesses in the North East of England

Do you employ foreign staff? Do they need to communicate effectively with their English speaking colleagues? We can provide individual or small group tuition on a regular basis. Our tutors can teach on site (if you have an appropriate training room) or staff members can come to the Centre. We devise our courses to meet your needs so that the important skills are dealt with rapidly.

Do your English speaking staff communicate with their foreign colleagues effectively? Do they know how to simplify their spoken English? Can they rephrase questions, avoid idioms and understand how to speak clearly and not just shout? We can help your English speaking staff improve their communication skills in just a morning!
