Introduction
Accent was founded in 1988 as a specialist consultancy and English language
training organisation for Companies, Executives, Managers and Professionals.
Since then, we have worked closely with corporate clients and individuals
from all over the world to provide training solutions for language problems
and help them to exploit the opportunities which are available on a global
scale.
 English
is undoubtedly the language of international communication
in the business and professional world. Companies and individuals
who add English to their other abilities are suddenly able
to perform internationally - opening up new markets, globalizing
activities, creating true cross-cultural communication, learning
from other countries and enhancing both company prospects
and also careers.
Accent
works in the areas of specialist language training, in-company
programmes, total-immersion courses, management training,
course design, one-to-one, small group and combination training
formats, specialist seminars, simulations, needs analysis
and consultancy.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Accent can be summarised as,
"Personal, professional, quality training".
Personal -
because although Accent works internationally, our centre
is small and the number of participants is carefully limited.
In this way, we can provide personal attention and design
courses to suit individual needs.
Professional -
because Accent uses qualified and experienced
 trainers who usually have qualifications and experience in
specialist areas such as business, finance, science or IT
- in addition to language teaching qualifications.
Quality -
because Accent is committed to quality - in training, in
materials, in our facilities, in accommodation and in client-company
relations. We believe that all parts of a training programme
are equally important - from initial contact to final report.
Training -
because Accent is used to working with businessmen, companies
and professionals. All of our services are based upon training
concepts, not teaching. The atmosphere on an Accent course
is totally different to that of a school - the approach,
relationships and environment are suitable for serious, mature
adults with a professional need for English.
Guarantee
of Quality
Accent is recognised as efficient by the British Council
- which regularly inspects us and ensures that high standards
continue to be met. Accent is also a member of English UK, which
is the professional body of the English Language Industry
and provides another quality monitor. Finally, we are members
of BusinessEnglishUK which is the specialist organisation
for Business English providers.
These
are your recognised guarantees of quality. The real guarantee,
however, is the satisfaction of our clients and course participants,
the length of time we have worked with companies and the
participants who return for more training with Accent.
