In-Company Business English Training with 100% Native-Speaker Trainers
Is English your company language?
Do your colleagues need in-company Business English training so they can speak smart, professional English with international clients and colleagues? Do they need to become more accurate, persuasive and confident in English? Since 2009, we have been providing dynamic, high-quality training to Dutch and international companies and organizations in the Netherlands, with a focus on companies in Amsterdam, The Hague, Amstelveen and Rotterdam. Our native speaker English trainers engage participants and keep them motivated with highly active and relevant lessons.
We offer quality intensive and weekly in-company business English courses for individuals and groups, all fully customized to deliver the most value for your busy team. Our motto is “Business English training the way YOU want it; never “one-size-fits-all” standardized courses.
English proficiency begins with a great native-speaker trainer and your 100% customized in-company Business English course
Communication is an art, and teaching it requires a certain kind of professional talent. Your trainer from The English Center is a native English speaker from the US, UK, Australia or Canada who lives and works in the Netherlands. Your trainer was chosen because of a certain set of qualities, including academic qualifications, creativity, passion for teaching, flexibility, drive and, perhaps most importantly – social intelligence. This social-emotional intelligence is what distinguishes an average trainer from a great trainer, because language teaching is a deeply human experience.

What about soft skills training for English-speaking companies?
In the Netherlands, our working relationships are strongly influenced by the polder model, a model of teamwork and consensus building. Our aptitude for teamwork can be as valuable as our degrees, employment history and hard skills.
How we work in a team – our soft skills – includes interpersonal or social skills, communication skills, listening skills, speaking, explaining, leadership, diplomacy, cross-cultural awareness and empathy. These highly desirable soft skills all have one thing in common: language. Mostly the English language! Because without a common, competent use of English, these skills cannot be updated. Soft skills in English are at the foundation of business success. They are fundamental.
At The English Center, we appreciate, understand and specialize in English soft skills. We would love to talk with you about how we can support your team in developing their “English soft skills” with customized in-company language training.
Our goal is to deliver quality in-company Business English courses with the perfect content, style and level for your team. And you can choose live online lessons or on-site training at your office in Amsterdam, Amstelveen or The Hague.
