Turkish Courses for Business in Birmingham

Designed and customised for the individual student’s needs, SIMON & SIMON’s Turkish courses, taught by a team of qualified native Turkish speakers who average 15 years of experience, have already benefited professionals and non-professionals across the UK. Courses cater for all levels of experience. The feedback on our Turkish tutors that we receive from our clients is consistently excellent. Prior to the start of your Turkish course, you will be sent a profile on your specific Turkish teacher’s experience and background.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your Turkish lessons in Birmingham will be almost entirely through the medium of Turkish. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in Turkish with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

The Turkish courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Turkish training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week. If you require faster progress, 1:1 Turkish courses at Birmingham are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths.

Turkish Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Turkish language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Turkish course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

Turkish language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your Turkish language course. We can arrange your Turkish language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. Residential full-time Turkish language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you.

Birmingham Turkish Course Schedules

The Turkish language courses in Birmingham that we run go on through the year. Each week, most of our students will attend at least one of our 90-minute lessons, but many will do more. We can easily arrange Weekend Courses for you. Turkish courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Turkish language courses can be arranged in residential centres abroad or in the UK, or on clients’ premises for 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day Monday to Friday.

Before you start your Turkish language course we will assess your level of Turkish and speak to you about your aims so that your Turkish language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Turkish before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Turkish when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Turkish in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Turkish language trainers will tailor your Turkish course so that your goals can be quickly met.

Turkish Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any Turkish examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced Turkish teachers in Birmingham. Issuing of results certificates, registration for Turkish examinations and administration of such exams is also provided by SIMON & SIMON.

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.
