Suppliers aren’t calling to quiz your managers on irregular verbs and your national sales team isn’t meeting to discuss what they did last weekend. Your employees need practical language skills to support your organization’s performance on the national and international scene.

ACA’s Business English courses and course books teach the language skills professionals need. We help employees improve their speaking, writing, grammar, vocabulary and other skills in courses based on real-life work situations. The learning doesn’t stop when class is over—your staff will acquire strategies to integrate English practice into their daily lives, resulting in faster, deeper learning and a higher return on your organization’s investment.

In-class instruction is available at your organization’s offices or our training centre for small group (3–5 students max.), private or semi-private courses.

ACA will evaluate employees’ English language proficiency before their courses and take care of all program logistics like group creation, class scheduling, room reservations and student questions. Afterwards, you will receive an assessment of the course and your staff’s progress.

How well do they know—or need to know—English?

Does your team leader speak English fluently? Can the candidate do the job? Which employees actually need language training?

Whether you need to measure the language performance of a single employee or the whole department, ACA has the tools, experience and capacity to get the job done. We can use our own evaluations or develop tests tailored to your organization’s requirements; your employees can be assessed online, by phone, at your offices or ACA’s training centre, or any combination thereof.

Build your own assessment package from a range of options, including:

• General English level assessments: “How many of my employees are beginners or intermediates—and what do those levels even mean?” Determine professionals’ general English levels. Participants take ACA’s standardized online comprehension and written tests (30 minutes each), and then are interviewed by phone (15 – 25 minutes). You will receive a short report classifying and explaining each professional’s results.
• Business English assessments: “Can this person do this job?” Determine whether professionals have the right kind of English skills to fill one or more positions. ACA works with you to identify the specific skills required, then designs and carries out customized tests (spoken, written, comprehension, etc.). You will receive a detailed report with linguistic job profile(s), each professional’s results and our assessment of their ability to fill the position(s) in question.
• Oral proficiency assessments: “Do they speak English fluently?” Assess professionals’ speaking skills. ACA conducts a 20-minute interview in person or by phone. You will receive a short report classifying and explaining each professional’s results.
