Boost your English
An intensive workshop week to reactivate your skills and build fluency on the real professional situations you face at work.
Who is it for?
Boost your English is for professionals who already have a B1 or B2 level but lack regular practice and need to reactivate their English quickly for a deadline, a new international role or a ramp-up on English-language files.
Whether you are a manager, sales professional, consultant or subject-matter expert, our workshops help you unlock your spoken English in a professional context, starting from the real situations you face at work.
Goals
An intensive workshop week that places you in the most common business communication situations, with four clear goals:
- Acquire the key vocabulary and expressions of professional communication scenarios
- Unlock and reactivate your passive knowledge
- Build confidence and strengthen spoken fluency
- Acquire communication strategies (managing counterparts of lower or higher levels)

Level B1

Level B2

Organisation: an intensive week
The standard format is a full semi-intensive week with one workshop per day — that is 20 hours of group training, in a small group, with a native or bilingual trainer. You can also take the workshops à la carte depending on your availability and priorities.
Each workshop runs over a half-day:
Preparation (9am-10am): you prepare independently for professional communication situations on our digital platform. Good preparation is key to optimising your practice with the trainer — warm up before the real effort.
Practice (10am-1pm): you immediately move through meaningful communication situations in a small group. You build confidence and spontaneity through a condensed experience orchestrated by your trainer, and leave with strategies you can apply directly to your field.
A post-training assessment validates your progress and satisfaction. For the upcoming session calendar, contact us.
Need to target a single skill instead?
If you don't need a full week but want to work on one precise skill in 4 hours, take a look at our Competency Booster workshops — 4-hour sessions that sweep through every situation within a single skill (for example: for the 'meetings' skill, construction meetings, feedback meetings, strategic meetings).
