よくあるご質問
ビジネス英語
講師に連絡するにはどうしたらよいですか?
オフィスにご連絡をいただけましたら、講師(Dan)より連絡をするよう手配いたします。
彼はそちらの会社へ出向いての面談にも応じます。担当部署との電話、または面談で講師よりお話することが、私達の研修についてご理解いただける最善の方法かと考えます。
研修はどこで開催されますか?
必要に応じて場所を提供することも出来ますが、通常、その企業のオフィスでの開催になります。これは社員の皆様の時間を有効に使うためです。
また、私共の研修では、異なる企業同士の参加を認めていないためでもあります。
私共はイギリス国内、ヨーロッパ、どこの企業からの依頼も受け付けますが、私共の講師がCheltenham在住のため、研修先のほとんどがWorcesterとBristolの間のM5エリア、またはSwindonとロンドンの西のM25エリアにあります。
研修費用はどのくらいかかりますか?
効率的に進める為に、半日か、一日の研修かを決める必要があります。
また、交通費につきましてはCheltenham近郊の、Worcester , Swindon周辺の地域におきましては特に発生いたしませんが、遠くの地域、例えばBirmingham ,Cardiffや Londonなどにおいては別途、交通費の相談をさせていただきます。
地域の詳細につきましてはお問い合わせください。
最初にトライアルを受けることは可能ですか?
どの会社に対しても、トライアルの必要のない価格設定になっております。
距離によっての差額が生じるのみで、一日の研修でも半日と同じになっています。
研修はどのくらいの頻度で開催されますか?
研修期間につきましては、研修内容に基づいて会社側との調整となります。
通常、最初の研修は、赴任後すぐに開始します。
これは、研修の成果を最大限引き上げ、それに伴い、社員の方々が新しい職場での業務に自信を持って取り組めるようにするためです。
初めの数ヵ月は月に一度くらいのペースで行い、進捗状況に応じて回数を減らして行きます。最終的には一年に一度のフォローアップ、つまり「車検」を受けていただくことになります。
サンプル・プランの詳細はどのようなものですか
事前研修または最初の研修時に個々の開始レベルを見極め、ビジネス英語の間違いになり得るポイントを指摘します。続いて個々の駐在員のニーズにより、個別のフォローアップになりますのでサンプルプランを出すことは難しくなります。
全ての研修は駐在員の方のビジネス英語が基になっており、実際の職場で必要な実用的なサポートの提供を組み込んでいます。Danが貴社に面談に伺いましたら、彼の研修についての詳細をお話することが出来ると思います。
グループでの研修会を手配することは可能ですか?
日本人には個別の研修が合っていると考えています。
個別の研修後に見直しの機会としてグループで行う方法をおすすめします。
個人の英会話レッスンを受けることは出来ますか?
申し訳ありませんが、私共は会社の研修を主体にしておりますので、個別の英会話レッスンにつきましてはお受けしておりません。
ただ、こちらにご連絡をいただき、私共から講師のDanへ繋ぎ、彼が個別の英会話レッスンに対応することができる場合もありますので、まずはご連絡ください。
ビジネス上の機密保持についてはどのように対応しますか?
研修上で知り得る全ての情報に関しましては機密保持を徹底致します。
ワークシャドーイングのように会社業務に関わる研修については、同業他社、取引先へは行わない旨のご要望もお受けします。
これは私共の信用にも関わって来ることですので、その点は十分注意しておりますので、ご安心ください。
FAQs
How can we make initial contact with your Training Consultant?
If you contact our office we can arrange for Dan to call you back to discuss your requirements in detail, and he would also be available to attend an interview at your company offices. During an initial phone conversation or through an interview in this way, a member of your company’s HR/Training Department will be able to clarify any aspect of our training packages as required and this is also beneficial to us because we have found that a personal conversation or interview with Dan is the best way for him to convey a fuller understanding of what he is able to offer.
Where are training sessions held?
We are able to provide a training room facility if required, but in practice our training sessions for any company are almost always held at that company’s offices, since this provides for the most efficient use of your employees’ time, and because our training is not designed to cater for delegates attending from various different companies at the same time. We are open to enquiries from companies based anywhere in the UK or Europe, but our Training Consultant is based in Cheltenham and so we tend to cater mostly to companies in the M5 region between Worcester and Bristol, as well as Swindon and companies along the M4 corridor across to the west side of the M25 and London.
How much do training sessions cost?
Our training sessions are normally packaged on the basis of a half-day of training or a full day, which allows us to manage our Training Consultant’s time efficiently. No allowance for travel time is made for locations such as Worcester or Swindon, which are within easy reach from Cheltenham, but travel time is taken into consideration for further away locations such as Birmingham, Cardiff and London.
Is it possible to arrange a trial session at first?
When we are approached for the first time by any company, the first training booking we receive will be discounted in order to provide a trial session to that company. Typically a full day of training will be costed as a half-day, subject to any additional considerations such as the training location.
How often should periodic review sessions be held?
A recommendation would be made to the company based on the mutual agreement of our Training Consultant and your employee, depending on the training needs identified. It is recommended that an initial session takes place as soon as possible after any employee starts in the UK workplace, so as to ensure that language interventions are of maximum value: this will help your employee to function better in his or her role, as well as giving them more confidence to contribute in it. Following this, it may be recommended that initial review sessions take place approximately once a month for the first few months with their frequency to decrease over time until the follow-up sessions revert to annual ‘MOT’ style check-ups.
Can you provide a sample plan of a typical training session?
During an induction programme or a first training session we will establish an individual employee’s starting point and cover specific areas of potential misunderstandings in a business context. Following on from this, individual follow-up training sessions vary according to the needs of an employee and so it is difficult to give a ‘sample plan’ which would suit all employees. In every case, however, a typical training session would be based on that employee’s business context, and designed to provide practical support for real workplace needs. If it is possible for Dan to attend an interview at your offices, he will be able to provide more details regarding sample content of his training sessions.
Is it possible to arrange group training sessions?
This is particularly recommended for companies with a large number of European employees. Meanwhile, Japanese employees on secondment tend to be vulnerable to making similar mistakes which can be specifically addressed in a group seminar: however, since Japanese people are culturally more concerned than other nationalities about being seen to make mistakes in front of others, this kind of seminar works better when it is not an initial session for employees but is instead an opportunity to review topics which have been covered with individuals previously.
How can I arrange sessions of private tuition with your Training Consultant?
We only act as an agent for company training sessions which are invoiced on a B2B basis. Unfortunately therefore we do not handle individual or personal requests for tuition. If you contact our office, however, we are able to pass on your contact details to Dan who will be able to let you know if he is able to respond to personal enquiries of this nature.
How can we ensure absolute confidentiality of all our business matters?
All training topics are non-specific and the content of any training session remains confidential between the trainee and our Training Consultant. It is an understandable concern of companies that they do not want an outside consultant to be exposed to any information or material which is sensitive to the company and its business interests: we recognise this concern and we can assure you that our reputation depends on upholding complete confidentiality within all such matters. As such, our interest within any work-shadowing situation is limited specifically to matters of English usage, but in addition to this we do offer an arrangement whereby a company may choose to apply an exclusivity clause within its specific industrial sector, meaning that we would not accept work-shadowing training requests from companies within the same sector.
