Case-study 1
The general manager of an international centre in Norway wanted to develop presentation skills in English for herself and her team.
OPE’s solution was a 1-week intensive English course in Oxford for 6 people, with a 2-day follow-up a month later in Oslo. The programme was entirely in English and included input, practice and feedback in language and presentations, with accommodation in the homes of specially selected professional families in Oxford.
The programme was so successful that 2 further groups were sent to Oxford and 3 follow-up workshop events took place in Oslo.
Case-study 2
A well-established business school abroad wants to go international. This means that all customer-facing office and support staff, as well as lecturers, must be proficient in English, good at presenting information and competent in dealing with other cultures.
The first step is for an OPE consultant to fly out and interview all involved and complete an audit of their skills, before agreeing a concept and designing appropriate training programmes for the staff. The OPE solution is to supply specialist OPE trainers from the UK for short intensive English courses once every 3 months, to integrate with weekly language improvement classes provided on-site by local training providers.
This meets the need for tight budget control, maximum motivation for staff and regular training.
