Face-to-face language training session for assignees

Personalised language training

Language training is designed to help employees, partners and families gain the language skills necessary to navigate daily life, integrate into the community, and perform effectively in a professional setting. Each programme begins with a detailed needs assessment to ensure the curriculum is matched to the individual's goals, level and timeline. 

Employees can choose between face-to-face sessions in a convenient local setting or a fully virtual experience that offers flexibility to continue lessons from anywhere in the world. Programmes are available to individuals, children, partners or small groups, allowing for a tailored and effective learning experience. 

Intercultural training for global integration 

Understanding cultural norms, communication styles and business expectations at destination is essential for a successful relocation. Pickfords' cultural training programmes are delivered by a leading global provider with experience in over 400 locations worldwide. These sessions are designed to improve cross-cultural awareness, helping employees and their families build confidence in both social and professional settings. 

Training is customised following a detailed assessment of the employee's background and destination. Programmes are available either in person or online, with flexible delivery options that fit around each employee's relocation timeline and schedule.
