ROI & Benefits
How Is Learning Progress Measured?
Every programme starts with a CEFR placement test (A1–C2). Progress is documented continuously and prepared for HR — attendance, level development, and learning goals at a glance.
How Does Booking Work for HR?
We know that HR managers need clear processes. That's why we offer: a single point of contact model, transparent pricing with no hidden costs, and standardized contracts that accelerate your procurement process.
After the initial consultation and CEFR placement, training can start at short notice. For groups and larger rollouts we prepare an individual offer.
AI Avatars as a Supplement to Trainer Instruction
Our AI-powered avatars enable your employees to practice additionally between regular trainer sessions. The avatars simulate realistic conversation situations, presentations, and negotiations - adapted to each participant's industry and level.
The result: more practice time without additional trainer costs, measurably faster progress, and greater confidence in English communication.
