Business English for Companies in Switzerland – Live & Online
From €65 / 90 min · Invoicing in EUR
What Does Business English for Companies in Switzerland Cost?
Online private training starts from €65 / 90 min – the same price our corporate clients in Germany and Austria pay. Invoicing in EUR is standard: we deliberately quote no CHF prices; your bank converts to Swiss francs at the current daily rate. The initial consultation and placement test are free.
The total price depends on the format: private training for executives, small groups for departments, or compact team workshops. We prepare a detailed quote after the free consultation – tailored to headcount, level (CEFR A1–C2), and your team's learning goals. You can also find all prices on our cost overview.

How Does the Online Training Work?
Three steps – from the free initial consultation to ongoing training. Your employees only need a laptop with a camera and microphone:
Consultation & placement
Free initial consultation, then CEFR placement (A1–C2) for your employees. This produces learning goals and a training plan for your team.
Live training via video
Fixed sessions with native-speaking trainers – meetings, presentations, negotiations, emails. Online, distributed teams from every canton join together.
AI avatar practice 24/7
Between live sessions, your employees practise speaking with the AI avatar – any time, no scheduling needed. Progress continues between weekly lessons.
Which Training Formats Are Available for Swiss Companies?
| Format | Participants | Duration | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private training | 1 | 90 min per session | Executives and specialists with individual goals – e.g., negotiations or investor calls. |
| Small group | 2–8 | 60–90 min per session | Departments and teams at a similar level – regular training over several months. |
| Team workshop | up to 12 | Half or full day | Compact topics such as presenting in English or meeting English – as an intensive format. |
| AI avatar practice | every participant | flexible, 24/7 | Speaking practice between live sessions – complements each of the three formats. |
Why Online Training for Swiss Teams?
Because it removes the practical hurdles. Germany and Switzerland share the same time zone – sessions fit Swiss working hours without any conversion, from early morning in Zurich to after work in Geneva. Nobody travels, no trainer has to cross half of Switzerland, and teams distributed across several cantons or sites train together in one virtual room.
For context: Simmonds is a Germany-based provider – we teach English, not German, and the classroom language is English. Organisation and consultation run in standard German or English, whichever your team prefers. We have no Swiss office; that is exactly why the offer is designed 100% online. The same model is also available for companies in Austria.

English for Pharma, Banking & Industry?
Yes – especially for the industries that define the Swiss economy. Pharma and biotech teams get specialist-language training with vocabulary from research, regulatory affairs, and production; banks, asset managers, and insurers get English for finance and insurance; industry and trade get specialist language for logistics and sales.
Content follows your team's real communication: emails to international clients, calls with headquarters, audits, negotiations. All specialist-language courses run in the same online format – live with native-speaking trainers, complemented by AI avatar practice.
