Often only when combined with effective communication skills can academic knowledge and specialised expertise bring about individual success and fruitful relations with associates, partner institutions and co-operating governments. As the primary language used to maintain and develop professional relationships in international politics, diplomacy, business and culture, Floreo provides a wide range of English Language training services for clients of differing backgrounds and professional needs. Our comprehensive Languages & Communications offering also encompasses training in important world languages and a suite of skills necessary for effective communication in modern professional capacities. Whether belonging to a sector where multilingual proficiency is imperative, or a public institution where personal presentation, delivery and negotiation skills are decisive, our tailor-made programmes are designed to help clients develop the communication skills needed to operate successfully in each of their unique settings.
Course content is determined in collaboration with clients and comprehensive programmes can be designed, as required, with the integration of study modules from other areas.
