We design and deliver language and intercultural communication training programs tailored to government and international organizations and private companies. Pricing depends on the level of customization and the nature of the program being designed. Services can include one or more of the following:
Programs for Individuals and Small Groups
We provide individual and small-group custom language programming throughout the year accommodating a variety of course lengths and schedules (minimum 60 hours). We match your needs to highly qualified instructors who work with you and our academic coordinator to design your program. Classes can be scheduled during the workday, in the evening, and on weekends.
