Kickstart School offers a range of company courses to improve the language skills of your employees.
Learning a new language in addition to performing your duties within your organization requires an efficient approach. We have a track record that we are proud of, as shown by our CEDEO accreditation for our regular group courses.
If you decide not to choose a general regular group course but wish to give your team a bonding experience next to language learning, then we have the regular exclusive or tailor-made courses for you.
A good course also requires good preparation. We have created a comprehensive initial assessment form that gives us the right information to be able to make the right match between the type of teacher and the requested course. It is an interaction between your organization and ours.
We have an extensive team of teachers with whom we have been working for years. You can count on expert, reliable and friendly teachers whose lessons are engaging and interactive.
