Corporate English Immersion – Boston, USA
Your customized Immersion program in Boston, USA can be fully tailored to your needs in terms of length and intensity. Most often we carry out a 2-4 week program in which the shorter versions are more intense from morning to evening with assignments.
The Corporate English Immersion program can host a group of up to 20 participants, but all carry out their training individually with private tutors from morning to night. Typically we build a full package including hotel, aviation, transfers, and meals on top of the course materials, excursions, case study visits, and private tutors.
The focus of the course will always be business related, but with variation on whether the weight is on conversational, presentation, reading, pronunciation, listening, and writing skills. It all depends on the needs of the participant and we asses the level and need at an intake interview prior to departure.
