Develop Your Team Together
Corporate group training works particularly well when employees share similar proficiency levels and communication needs. Participants can practise workplace communication with colleagues facing similar situations through discussions, role-plays, presentations, and other collaborative activities. This lets them learn from both the instructor and one another while working toward shared communication goals.
For in-person training, organisations can include up to 20 participants at the same training fee, making group learning a cost-efficient option for team development.
Who Is Corporate English Training For?
- Organisations with multiple employees who need stronger English for everyday workplace communication.
- Teams that communicate with international colleagues, clients or customers.
- Employers looking for structured, HRD Corp Claimable English training as part of staff development.

How Our Corporate Training Process Works
From Training Needs to Measurable Progress
Your training programme is developed with academic input from ELS's Academic Planning and Training Unit, using information gathered during the Needs Analysis and participant assessment. Where appropriate, we can adapt training content and activities to the communication situations employees encounter in their roles.
1. Understand Your Business and Training Needs
We begin with a Needs Analysis to understand:
- communication challenges your employees encounter at work
- English skills employees need to improve
- business objectives the training should support
- participant roles, responsibilities and proficiency levels
- preferred schedule, delivery mode and training arrangements
Based on this information, we will recommend a suitable programme and prepare a training proposal for your organisation.
2. Assess and Group Participants Appropriately
Before training begins, participants complete a pre-course English assessment. The results help us confirm the appropriate programme level and group employees with similar proficiency so the lesson content, pace, and level of challenge remain suitable for the group.
3. Deliver the Training
Participants attend lessons focused on practical English and workplace communication. To ensure that employees not only comprehend new language concepts but also effectively apply them in real-life situations, our training sessions will feature interactive and collaborative activities, including:
- Pair work to foster peer learning
- Group discussions that encourage diverse perspectives
- Presentations to build confidence and clarity
- Role-plays to simulate real workplace scenarios
4. Monitor Progress
Mid-course and final assessments help track each participant's development and identify areas that may require further attention.
5. Review Participant Progress
At the end of the programme, ELS provides an individual progress report for each participant, giving your organisation visibility into their performance and development during the training.
Combined with the pre-course, mid-course and final assessments, these reports help you understand how participants have progressed and where further development may be beneficial.
Participants who meet the programme attendance requirements will also receive a Certificate of Attendance.
