ENGLISH COURSES FOR COMPANIES: What is the best option?

Introduction

Arturo is an extremely busy executive. Over the last semester, his schedule was packed with business meetings, trips, and reports. He was convinced that mastering English was a priority, but for several reasons beyond his control, he kept postponing it, limiting both his own growth and the growth of the company he works for.

He felt frustrated and sometimes had to hire simultaneous interpretation services to speak with key clients around the world. The company had tried several options to solve his problem and that of the rest of the team:

• Attending a language academy: Arturo started his classes at a language academy with great enthusiasm. Sometimes, due to work commitments, he could not arrive on time or simply missed class. Commuting to the academy was a constant headache, especially because of traffic or the difficulty of finding parking.
• On-site teachers: To make things easier for employees, the company hired trainers who came every morning to deliver an English course in the company's meeting room. The room was not always available, so classes were often moved to improvised spaces. At other times, because of events, public holidays, or vacation periods, lessons were repeatedly postponed or cancelled. Arturo was able to attend some sessions, but due to his schedule he had to miss many classes, and eventually, despite his best intentions, he dropped out.
• Blended courses: The company then hired a course with face-to-face classes and online support materials, including videos and texts. When Arturo travelled, he watched the videos and dedicated more time to learning, but he still could not keep up with the main lessons. Progress remained slow, and neither the teacher nor HR had clear visibility of his level of progress.

Arturo realised he needed a flexible course he could access anytime and anywhere, without timetable constraints or commuting, something that would allow him to optimise his time without being tied to a physical classroom.

Everything changed when the company implemented ABA Corporate, the solution that perfectly matched Arturo's needs and those of the rest of the staff.

What is ABA Corporate?

ABA English presents ABA Corporate, the flexible and effective online English course designed to meet your team's learning needs without depending on physical locations, fixed schedules, or external constraints.

Would you like to know more? Here is how you can make it happen.

What defines the ideal English course for companies?

Every member of your team has different work dynamics.

As we saw, Arturo is an executive with a demanding schedule: many meetings, late-night reports, and frequent travel.

Another employee stays in the office throughout the day, but at the end of the working day prefers to get home early to spend time with their children.

Some employees spend most of their time out on the road, while others work from home.

How can you respond effectively to such a broad range of situations? Through technology.

ABA Corporate gives your employees the opportunity to learn English wherever they are, whenever they want, and for as long as they need, thanks to our online methodology built around a virtual campus accessible from mobile phones, tablets, and computers.

Face-to-face courses vs. online courses

Arturo is certain that face-to-face learning is not the right option for him. He enjoys traditional classes and interacting with classmates and teachers. Even so, he knows these formats do not match his current reality and that he needs something different.

Face-to-face courses will always be limited by timetables, travel, and fixed locations. Online courses, on the other hand, allow employees to access a virtual platform from anywhere in the world, without constraints.

ABA Corporate offers your employees lessons enriched with multimedia content (text, images, audio, videos, and more), turning learning into an engaging, enjoyable, and motivating experience.

If any questions arise during the lessons, they can contact a virtual tutor as often as needed.

How can I measure my employees' progress?

ABA Corporate enables you to track your team's progress objectively through the Extranet platform, which generates automatic individual and group reports. You can also generate periodic custom reports and certificates.

Since each employee starts at a different level at the beginning of the course, ABA Corporate includes a free level test so you can accurately identify each employee's current level and define a clear direction for their individual learning path.

How do I know if the price is right?

Think about the many benefits an online methodology can bring to your company.

There is no need to invest in books, photocopies, or any kind of printed materials.

You will save by optimising your employees' time to the fullest; in other words, time is used far more efficiently.

You will not incur additional costs, since employees already have the devices needed to interact with the platform: mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

Ultimately, once the English goals are achieved, your company's operational performance becomes clearly stronger, as each employee develops their full potential by mastering a second language, which also supports financial growth.

Your team deserves the best course, and ABA Corporate is the answer, thanks to an online, flexible, and effective methodology.

We would like to offer you the chance to try our platform free of charge for 30 days so you can verify all the benefits we have mentioned.
