Language Courses

Four Reason Why Languages

Make Companies Grow

1. Language skills improve productivity and help companies survive

‘Exporting can boost your business productivity by up to a third in the first year. Exporting firms are more productive than non-exporters, and are more likely to stay in business.’ UK Trade and Investment (HM Government)

2. Language skills bring success

‘There is a direct correlation between the success of the business and the value placed by the company on language skills.’ British Chambers of Commerce

3. Even basic language skills give you advantages

‘The understanding of cultures other than our own, the doors to that understanding opened by speaking another language, and the simple courtesy offered by trying to speak in another person's language carry competitive advantage in the long term, and they are essential to building the personal relationships which will sustain and fuel that advantage.’ Alan Jenkins, Chairman, Eversheds '

4. Language skills develop key corporate skills and stimulate creativity

‘Learning a language develops mental agility, concentration on detail combined with a broad perspective, and tolerance of ambiguity. It stimulates creativity, thus giving competitive edge.’ CILT, the National Centre for Languages
