English for Business
For employees who speak English as a second language
Your team handles safety procedures, technical specifications, shift handoffs, and meetings in English with confidence.
Corporate Language Training
Workforce Language Programs
Workforce language programs built around your employees’ actual jobs — the language of your floor, your forms, and your team.
What each program is for
Two workforce language programs
Each program is scoped around your workforce — the roles, the language tasks, and the schedule that fits your operation.
Spanish as a Second Language
For English-speaking staff who serve Spanish speakers
Supervisors, frontline staff, and customer-facing teams communicate directly with Spanish-speaking employees and customers.

How a program is scoped
Built around your shifts and your SOPs
Courses are structured, instructor-led, and focused on practical language skills applicable to real-world work environments.
01
Your shift patterns
Classes are scheduled around your shifts so people can actually attend — on-site at your facility, the way we ran English for Business at Century Aluminum's smelter.
02
Your own SOPs
The curriculum is built from your safety procedures, forms, and workflows, so employees practice the exact language they use on the job.
03
An instructor at your facility
An experienced instructor teaches on-site, with weekly classes that mix vocabulary, conversation coaching, and role-play tied to your work.
04
A length that fits
Program length is an option, not the starting point. Choose the length that fits your goals:
- 12-week option
- 16-week option
- 20+ week option
Language Proficiency Testing is a separate service. Use it when you need an objective score for hiring, promotion, or a stated requirement. Learn about Language Proficiency Testing
For individual learners or smaller teams, live online classes are also available. See Virtual Language Training
