Frequently asked questions

Which industries do you offer specialist English for?+

We train specialist English for IT & software, engineering, logistics, insurance, finance, renewable energies, pharma & biotech, hospitality, tourism, sales, and journalism. Each programme includes industry-specific vocabulary and realistic communication scenarios.

What distinguishes specialist English from general Business English?+

General Business English covers classic topics. Specialist English focuses on your industry terminology – e.g. 'GDS' in tourism, 'API' in IT, 'Incoterms' in logistics – and on typical communication situations in your industry, from technical audits to investor presentations.

Do you also train very specific niche areas?+

Yes. Tell us your specialist field – whether semiconductor manufacturing, rating-agency English, or veterinary English – and we'll develop a tailored programme together with you. Our trainers have experience in over 30 industries.

How does the AI avatar help with specialist English?+

The AI avatar simulates real industry situations 24/7: negotiations with suppliers, technical audits, patient consultations, pitch meetings. You practise as often as you like with industry-specific scenarios – without appointment and without extra cost.

What does specialist English training cost?+

Online private lessons from €65 / 90 min, online corporate courses from €97.50 / 90 min, in-person training €115 / 90 min. Industry-specific content is included in the price. For whole teams we provide a tailored quote. All prices are VAT-exempt.

What English level do I need for specialist English training?+

We recommend at least B1 for most industries, B2 for more demanding fields like pharma, finance, or law. We clarify your level in the free placement test and adapt the training accordingly.
