Our courses at Holland Park Gardens
Our specialist executive centre is the ideal learning environment for
professionals aiming to develop their communication, cross-cultural and
networking skills. We offer the highest standards of training, facilities,
services and client support to ensure our clients achieve a significant
return on the time that they invest with us.
Courses for Experienced Professionals
These courses are suitable for experienced professionals from a range of
cultures, sectors and backgrounds. Participants work in small focussed
groups – or one-to-one. Activities and materials are all practical and
relevant. All the work has immediate workplace benefits. Our trainers are
selected for their ability to inform, challenge and inspire, as well as to
facilitate the cross-cultural exchange that is central to all our courses.
Courses for Young Professionals
These courses are designed for young professionals near the start of their
careers – typically recent graduates or those with 2 or 3 years’ experience.
Our training has a 100% professional focus, which is very different from the
General English taught at school or university. The courses develop both
specialised language and communication skills and also the cross-cultural
skills essential in a global workplace.

I feel I have learnt much more in this period in London
than all the English that I studied in Argentina. I was
shocked at first as I didn’t expect to get a 6.5 in IELTS
but also I feel proud of myself as I achieved the goal
that I wanted and I’m much more confident.
Our courses at Westcroft Square
Westcroft Square offers General English, English for University, and exam
preparation. Whatever your aims, we help you gain the knowledge, the
practical skills and the confidence you need.
You may just want to boost your General English, but you may need a very specific outcome –
for example success in an examination to help with your career or to gain admission to a
university.
Westcroft Square
Whether you are with us for a short course, or for many months, your course will be intensive,
practical and focused. The average age of our students is a little older than in many schools –
the mature environment and your hard work and commitment will achieve remarkable results
for you. Even in the summer, a short course with us will have real practical benefits.
We have a very strong management team, including staff with special responsibility for
examinations and for students staying with us for a long time. If you plan to go to university,
our University Relations Manager can support you in every way. Our English for University
course will give you perfect preparation for the challenges of studying at a UK or English
language medium university.
Whatever your aims, we measure ourselves by your success.

This is one of the finest
English schools because
they are like a team, they
provide you with lots of
opportunities to make
your future a reality.
Learning English is like a
marathon and in order to
keep running this
marathon I need mentors,
dependable instructors
and cordial friends.
Fortunately I could find
them all at this school.
’’
This was my best
experience I have ever had
in learning English! The
teachers are lovely and
well prepared, they focus
on the needs of the class
as well as individual needs,
and the connection
between language and
culture has been
fascinating and really
opened my mind... I was
very satisfied to achieve
such a lot of progress and
to get the result I need to
get into my first choice
university.
’’
‘‘
I met wonderful and
helpful teachers and
administrators in the school.
They were very friendly and
always gave me practical
and moral support. I also
met a variety of international
students with whom I spent
memorable times. LSE has
an atmosphere which is
enjoyable and stimulating
to learn and develop your
English skills. In addition
there is a varied and
interesting social programme
which helps you improve
your communication skills
in English.

Our courses in Canterbury
Immersion Courses in Professional English and
Communication Skills
In 1991 we founded Canterbury Language Training (CLT), a boutique centre
offering immersion courses, just one hour from London but providing a very
different, very English location.
CLT creates a unique, personal environment for business and professional clients.
A maximum of 25 participants at any time guarantees individual attention.
Careful preparation, based on the information you provide and pre-course Skype
interviews, means that your training will be fully tailored to your needs. The CLT
experience is fully integrated: training, lunches and evening activities with
trainers, combined with executive homestay or hotel accommodation, create an
all-day immersion programme.
The focus of the training is practical communication skills which you can use
immediately in your work. You will meet like-minded people from diverse
countries, companies and institutions. Communicating across cultural boundaries
will be a key part of your training.
Courses in Canterbury can be combined with courses in London – our Dual
Centre Programmes – with the benefit of different stimuli but guaranteed
continuity in training.
About Canterbury
Canterbury is a beautiful, historic town, dominated by the magnificent
gothic Cathedral. The city dates from pre-Roman times and has three
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a magnificent new theatre, museums, art
galleries, traditional pubs and international restaurants.
It lies in an area of green countryside and unspoilt villages where many
of our homestay hosts live. Canterbury is surrounded by the sea on three
sides, with interesting towns, famous golf courses, beaches and the
historic white cliffs of Dover all within easy reach.
London is only an hour away by high speed train, and Paris 2 hours
by Eurostar.

Immersion Courses for Professionals

Successful Communication for
Professionals – Micro-Group (SCP)
SCP Combination Courses
(SCP-C)
This course focuses on the group communication needs of business
and professional people. The small group size allows us to personalise
the content. You will gain confidence in making presentations, taking
part in international meetings, cross-cultural networking and other
familiar work contexts. You will also learn to use language tools which
give you greater control of your communication. With practice this
will lead to successful outcomes every time. You can combine this
course with one-to-one training – see SCP Combination Courses.
You will get the best of both worlds – all the benefits of group
interaction combined with the 100% tailoring of one-to-one training.
You can choose between Combi-30 (15 hours’ SCP Micro-Group + 15
hours’ 1:1 training per week) and Combi-25 (15 hours’ SCP MicroGroup + 10 hours’ 1:1 training per week). Generally you will do your
one-to-one training in the morning and join a group in the afternoon,
but we may decide the reverse structure is more appropriate,
depending on your needs.

Effective Lecturing Skills in English
(ELS)
One-to-One Specialised Training
(IND)
If you require your training to be 100% focused on your individual
communication needs, 1:1 is for you. You may need sector specific
language (eg Oil & Gas), function specific language (eg Marketing) or
specific language skill training (eg pronunciation) – you will probably
need a mix of all three! Your trainers will create with you an individual
programme to address all your personal requirements. You can
combine this with an SCP Micro-Group course – see SCP
Combination Courses.
This 1-week course is the same as the one run in London - see page

We put a lot of care and attention into how you spend your
time outside formal training hours. This is what makes a CLT immersion
course an authentic experience of England. An important part of that experience
is your accommodation. It is important that you feel comfortable and relaxed at the
end of a challenging day.
Our executive homestays are exceptional and we strongly recommend this as the
best way to complete your immersion experience. Our hosts offer a genuinely warm
welcome and high standard of hospitality. There will be many opportunities to
practise English. Our daily car service picks you up in the morning and takes you
home in the evening, when you want. It is also available at the weekend.
From / to all London

Our partner hotels, located within walking distance of the school, are a good choice
if you have a lot of company work to do in the evenings.
