January 2012: A glimpse at the new year

“Cheers to a New Year and another chance to get it right.” (Oprah Winfrey)

Celebrate the New Year

Accreditation

In 2011 we obtained renewal of our official Hungarian state accreditation for our language courses in addition to our school accreditation. Although the benefits in terms of access to training contribution funds for your courses have now ended, this accreditation assures you of our continued high quality and standards.

Staff changes

We recruited new native speaker teachers with specialist skills in hospitality,  marketing and IT. In addition we welcome Kata who joins our back office team where she liaises with teachers to ensure a high standard of service for our clients. We welcome back Nina as Director of Studies after her maternity leave. She resumes her role organizing courses and managing the teaching team. Irene rejoins us to look after blended  learning and business development after completing her MA in Education Technology and TESOL.

New clients

This year we welcomed two major new clients who changed provider and joined us because of our quality of  service and flexibility.

Cheers to clients, students and staff

We carried out level testing for employees at a major FMCG company for 10 consecutive years allowing  management to independently verify progress in language learning and ensure that staff had the language necessary for their jobs.
