Language and Cultural Services

Kwintessential.co.uk The Language and Culture Specialists

The advent of the global economy has brought us exciting challenges in respect to the way in which we conduct our businesses or live our lives. This may extend from the diversity of the countries in which we operate our businesses through to the diversity of individuals with whom we interact.

Cross cultural communication is paramount in a world full of differences. Communication in its linguistic and non-linguistic (cultural) forms is increasingly recognised as one of the most crucial pre-requisites for any venture into the world economy.

At Kwintessential we play a key role in helping individuals, companies and organisations who wish to acquire the necessary skills or services to succeed in the global market place .

The operating excellence delivered by our organisation is driven by the expertise of our cultural experts, foreign language teachers, translators and interpreters. We keenly recognise that the needs of our clients are as diverse as the culturally diverse arena in which we operate. A key driving principle within our company therefore is to ensure that all our seminars and language lessons are fully tailored to meet the needs of the client.

We offer UK businesses three key services:

1)Language Tuition:

We offer language tuition to individuals on a one to one basis or groups in any language, at any level, and for any purpose. In addition to foreign language tuition we also offer English language tuition to expatriates in the UK.

We tailor our language lessons to ensure that they captivate the interest of the learner, meet their needs and challenge their capabilities. We can offer general language teaching concentrating on all skills, or we can be skill specific, focusing on either, reading, writing, listening or speaking. In addition, our teachers can offer training in areas such as industry specific terminology/vocabulary, report writing, presentation skills and speech giving. Where appropriate, we encourage students to engage in language examinations and assist them in their preparation and applications.

We also offer language tuition to families and spouses of business personnel either coming to or leaving the UK. This in tandem with cross cultural awareness training can help reduce the impact of culture shock and ease the transition to a new environment for expatriates.

2) Translation and Interpretation :

We guarantee high quality translations with quick turnarounds at competitive prices.

Our team of interpreters are available 24/7 to deal with all your interpretation needs, whether you are private or public sector based.

3) Cross Cultural Awareness Training :

Our cross cultural training workshops are designed to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of business / organisational operations.

All our workshops are delivered by cultural experts who have considerable depth and experiences of the area at hand. Each course is aimed at meeting you cross cultural communication, management and training needs.

We can tailor each course to offer you insights into areas such as political stability, economic outlook, demographics, cultural values, etiquette, taboos, business protocol, and much more.
