For government

Linguistic obligations, met on a schedule you can defend.

Departments and agencies come to us with a requirement and a deadline. We start by measuring where the team actually is, then set out a written plan against that gap.

Across Canada

Online training across Canada

Live sessions run on Microsoft Teams and Zoom, so a department can train people in a single office or spread across several time zones on the same programme. Second-language training for the federal public service has been our field since the company began; workplace sessions remain available on request.

Group training

Planning group training

People miss sessions and priorities change. A plan that assumes perfect attendance produces a flattering report and a team that has not progressed.

So we plan around the work: pace, format and delivery mode are set with the manager, and reassessed on a schedule rather than at the end.

What we provide

What an engagement includes

  • Measurement first

    Every participant is assessed before the plan is written, so the starting point is known rather than assumed.

    About assessment

  • A written plan

    Objectives, format, pace, delivery mode and reassessment points, set out in advance and agreed before training begins.

  • Progress you can report

    Reassessment at agreed intervals, so progress is measured against the original assessment rather than against impressions.

How an engagement runs

From first conversation to reassessment.

  1. Scoping conversation

    The requirement, the deadline, the number of people, and the constraints the training has to fit around.

  2. Assessment of participants

    Each person's actual level is established. This is what separates a real group plan from one that exists only on paper.

  3. Written proposal

    Objectives, formats, pace, delivery and reassessment points.

  4. Delivery and reassessment

    Training runs; progress is measured at the agreed points and the plan is adjusted while there is still time to act on it.

For departments and agencies

Tell us the requirement and the deadline.

We will come back with what an assessment would involve and what a written plan would look like. There is no commitment at this stage.
