About the Business

Business Language Training was founded in 1987 by its directors, Tessa Lamb and Donal McCay. Over the years the company has established a global training network and provides tailored Professional English and foreign language training solutions for companies and individuals around the world.

Directors:

Tessa Lamb is a graduate in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford and is a member of the Institute of Linguists. She taught English in the UK, France and Germany before embarking on a successful career in the global education sector. She managed a group of language schools in the US before returning to the UK to co-found Business Language Training. Tessa has lived and worked in seven countries, has experience of working with many more and is proficient in a number of languages.

Donal McCay is a graduate in Commerce from University College, Dublin and studied accountancy before embarking on a career in management and consultancy within the education sector. He is a former chairman of the Association of Language Excellence Centres, which was established by the DTI to promote the highest standards in language training for business.

Course management team:

Over the years, the directors of Business Language Training have built up an outstanding course management team. All of our course managers are graduates in modern languages, trained language teachers and have excellent administrative skills. Every client is assigned a dedicated course manager who will be responsible for all aspects of that client's training, from arranging initial assessments to setting up courses, briefing trainers and providing regular attendance, progress and financial reports.

Business Services

An International Training Network

An International Training Network

Business Language Training has established a global training network and provides tailored Professional English and foreign language training solutions for companies and individuals all over the world.

Our clients are guaranteed the same high quality service no matter where their training is delivered.

Some language learners begin with a local intensive or extensive course and then feel ready for a total immersion course in the country where the language is spoken. To facilitate this, the centres in our network exchange reports on the client's current level in the target language, strengths and weaknesses, progress levels and future study advice.

A language course abroad is not only rewarding but hugely enjoyable. Business Language Training offers help with course selection, pre-course assessment, accommodation reservations and free-time leisure programme. Accommodation – hotel, apartment or host family – will be arranged locally at the best possible rates.

Training can be scheduled intensively and/or extensively depending on the urgency of the need and the objective of the training.

Intensive English:

We offer a wide range of full- and part-time intensive courses at our executive language centres in central London and the university city of Oxford. All of our intensive courses are tailored to meet the specific needs of our business learners. We appreciate that their time is limited and they need to make the maximum progress in the shortest time.

In-company English:

We offer in-company training in English for those who require training at their workplace. Courses are provided at all levels from beginner to advanced, and can be arranged in most locations. Any of the intensive course options described can also be provided in-company.

Individually tailored training:

Some of our most popular Professional English courses are listed on the right. This is just a sample – we pride ourselves on being able to tailor any Professional English course to the specific needs of the course participant.
