Changing pronunciation is easy, right?
Hmm, let’s see…. (as you watch, keep in mind that Nell is a native English speaker)....

Step by step listening activities help professionals refine their listening skills - correctly understanding spoken messages is critical in certain industries / roles.
-
Step by step pronunciation practice activities that develop your employees confidence that they can be understood without having to repeat specific words or phrases.

Still have questions?
-
How long do my employees get to complete 1 (paid) course?
90 days. Remember, they can also access the free Short Course for 7 days.
-
Can they work through the courses at their own pace / enroll at any time?
Of course.
-
Do they get a Completion Certificate at the end of the courses?
Yes, absolutely! Please note, we don’t offer completion certificates on our free Short Course.
-
Do they need anything else apart from a computer / access to the internet?
They’ll need headphones for the listening activities and a small handheld mirror for pronunciation practice activities.
-
What if I decide it’s not the right training programme for us?
We actually offer a ‘free trial’ for potential companies who may be interested in buying multiple licences for their employees to avoid this situation. Depending on the size of the company, we can offer up to 10 employees the opportunity to complete one course each over a limited time period in return for feedback. Please note, we require a Terms of Reference (ToR) agreement to be in place before the trial starts.
Our e-courses may not be the best fit for your organisation if:
-
If your employee(s) IELTS score in English is less than 4.5.
-
If you can’t give your employees up to 18 hours over 3 months to access and complete their chosen course online.
