Spanish Courses for Business in Bolton

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Spanish Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Spanish speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Spanish teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Spanish teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Spanish lessons start.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years - it's now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience! Your teacher will conduct your Spanish lesson in Bolton almost entirely in Spanish - a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Spanish in a variety of social and business situations.

We offer Spanish courses as group sessions or on a 1:1 basis/ Most of our clients offer their employees 1:1 Spanish training, however, if planned carefully, with participants numbering 6 or less who commit to meeting every week, group sessions can be good value for money. Those who learn Spanish at Bolton on a 1:1 basis will find that they progress more quickly, as the lessons can be specifically tailored for their individual needs, strengths and weaknesses.

Spanish Course Management

Each of SIMON & SIMON’s Spanish languages courses is the responsibility of a multi-lingual, very experienced Account Manager. When you start your Spanish course, you will receive your trainer’s profile. Thereafter we will send you a Course Plan, materials for the course and, after each 40 hours of training, a Progress Report. Our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, will also reach you, and contains a prize draw as well as the weblinks of language learning resources.

The Spanish language courses of SIMON & SIMON have been run in numerous locations. As we have a global network of language trainers your Spanish language course can be arranged in major cities across Europe and further afield. Most of our clients arrange for their Spanish lessons to be run in their offices so that there is less need for travel, but we can also run Spanish lessons in your home. We also run residential full-time Spanish language courses in a variety of locations which our office will be happy to inform you of.

Bolton Spanish Course Schedules

We run Spanish language courses in Bolton all year. Most of our students participate in no less than one 90-minute lesson per week, but many students will participate in more if work commitments allow. Weekend Courses can be facilitated, and our Spanish weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Spanish language courses are also available and can be run at the client’s premises or a residential centre in the UK or overseas. These courses take place over 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 30 hours per week.

Your Spanish language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Spanish language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Spanish conversational skills or have more proficiency in Spanish and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Spanish for negotiations and meetings or focus on gaining better listening, pronunciation and comprehension skills. No matter what your needs, you can be confident that our very experienced Spanish language trainers will work with you on a Spanish language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Spanish Language Examination Courses

Spanish examination preparation for business or other examinations can also be assisted with. Our students boast a 95% rate of passing such examinations, proving the value of our policy of Spanish teachers in Bolton with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Spanish examinations as well as issuing results certificates as a part of our service.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Spanish is a Romance language in the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several languages and dialects in the central-north of Iberia during the 9th century and gradually spread with the expansion of the Kingdom of Castile into central and southern Iberia during the later Medieval period. In 1999, there were 358 million people speaking Spanish as a native language and a total of 417 million speakers worldwide. As of 2010 these figures are up to 400 and 500 million people respectively. Spanish is the second most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese. Mexico contains the largest population of Spanish speakers. Spanish is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Bolton is a town in Greater Manchester, in the North West of England. Close to the West Pennine Moors, it is 10 miles (16 km) north west of the city of Manchester. Bolton is surrounded by several smaller towns and villages which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, of which Bolton is the administrative centre. The town of Bolton has a population of 139,403, whilst the wider metropolitan borough has a population of 262,400. Historically a part of Lancashire, Bolton originated as a small settlement in the moorland known as Bolton le Moors. During the English Civil War the town was a Parliamentarian outpost in a staunchly Royalist region, and as a result Bolton was stormed by 3,000 Royalist troops led by Prince Rupert of the Rhine in 1644. In what became known as the Bolton Massacre, 1,600 residents were killed and 700 were taken prisoner. Noted as a former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish weavers settled in the area during the 15th century, developing a wool and cotton weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of Bolton largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. It was a boomtown of the 19th century and at its zenith, in 1929, its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dying works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of cotton spinning in the world.
