What changes when IT teams train with us

Most providers report attendance and a satisfaction score. Neither tells you whether the team communicates better. We report against the situations a team set out to fix and against measured level change, because that is what a buyer is actually paying for.

Results backed by client and learner feedback

Quantitative results and client testimonials answer different questions. Metrics show what changed; client and learner feedback explains how the programme felt to run and use. We publish them separately and connect each statement to its programme context.
Scheduling, testing, invoicing and reporting were managed through one programme
"They take care of everything — scheduling, employee testing, invoicing, and reporting, saving us time and making the interaction smooth and hassle-free."

Scale and administration

18 groups active at once

First Line Software, 2023
Business English, speaking clubs and role-specific programmes were piloted, refined through employee feedback and rolled out across dozens of groups
"What's the most important for us, is that they are very flexible, very adjustable to our precise needs, open for any kind of crazy ideas & solutions."

Long-term role-specific delivery

A partnership running since 2014

Semrush
A short-term course was built around the identified needs of each employee and completed after the target skills were addressed
"They've set up special English courses for our employees, providing a top-notch learning experience. Their team of international teachers — Joseph, Marina, and Inga — are real professionals."

Individualised short-term programme

Needs analysis for every participant

Lineate, up to 10 learners, 2023
A recruiter completed a self-funded course lasting under one year and passed a test with a result equivalent to C1+
"My teacher, Taylor, was truly captivating. By the course’s conclusion, I not only passed the test but also achieved a remarkable score, equivalent to C1+ in the CEFR. "

How we measure

We use three things. First, CEFR level before and after, so there is a recognised measure of language change. Second, the specific workplace situations the team chose at the start, tracked qualitatively over the programme. Third, operational signals the team already watches, used as proxies rather than as invented metrics.

• CEFR movement across the programme
• Progress on the named situations the team chose to fix
• Operational proxies the team already tracks

Satisfaction and programme feedback

We track learner satisfaction and recommendation alongside attendance, CEFR movement and progress against communication goals. Aggregate figures are published together with the relevant sample, reporting period and calculation method.

Operational outcomes

Language scores matter, but managers feel the change in engagement and daily work first. Here are real outcomes from teams we have worked with, with client names withheld.

A team example

  • A games company: engagement and attendance
    People were enrolled in English but not turning up. A needs interview found the problem was a rigid fixed schedule and lessons that ignored what each person wanted to work on. We moved them to a flexible format with self-directed topics. Attendance rose by 30 percent across more than 200 employees, and programme satisfaction reached 95 percent.
  • A UX design team: professional vocabulary
    A team of UX designers needed stronger English to work with a global team on shared projects. We ran a needs interview, built a course around UX work with role-play of real scenarios, and added a glossary of design terminology. Over three months, 90 percent of the group improved their grasp and use of professional vocabulary, with more confidence in cross-team communication.
  • A services company: targeted workplace skills
    Employees asked for English tied to specific tasks: client negotiations, business correspondence, and self-presentation. We met with them to map individual needs and built a programme per request. 95 percent reported a higher level of English in the skills they needed, and the training became part of the company benefits package.
  • Paysonix: three years of training.
    We have run English for fintech company Paysonix since 2023: 22 people across six groups, as of June 2026, three groups remained active. The work shaped the English, calls with international partners and PSPs, integration discussions, business correspondence.
    Groups moved along a real arc (B2 to B2+ to C1, or C1 to C1+), and one group reached C1 and asked to keep going. This spring attendance averaged 82 percent through release cycles and incident weeks, and in January 2026, the programme received a 9/10 recommendation rating from both the client manager and participating learners.

Frequently asked questions

How do you measure the results of English training?

We combine CEFR level change with progress on the specific workplace situations a team chose to improve, plus operational signals the team already tracks. We avoid headline percentages that cannot be verified.

What is CEFR and why does it matter here?

CEFR is a recognised scale for language level. Measuring it before and after gives a consistent, comparable picture of how much a team’s English actually moved during the programme.

Do you share client case studies?

We share outcomes from teams who have agreed to be referenced, focused on operational change rather than invented statistics.

How long before results show?

Operational change often appears before formal test results, because the practice uses real meetings. Formal CEFR movement is measured across the programme.
