Turkish Courses for Business in Leeds

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Turkish Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Turkish speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Turkish teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Turkish teacher before they commence their Turkish lessons.

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 Leeds 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 Leeds 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

Every SIMON & SIMON Turkish language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your Turkish language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources.

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.

Leeds Turkish Course Schedules

We run our Turkish language courses in Leeds all through the year. Many of our students, if work commitments allow, will attend more than one session weekly, and the vast majority take part in at least one 90-minute lesson weekly. We also arrange weekend Turkish courses on request. Our Turkish programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Turkish language courses, held on clients’ premises or at residential centres in the UK or abroad, are also available on a 6 hours per day basis, Monday through Friday.

Whatever your personal level of experience and future goals, your Turkish course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Turkish and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Turkish skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Turkish and want to improve your ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. You may want to develop improved pronunciation and comprehension skills or improve your Turkish for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Turkish language trainers will tailor your Turkish course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Turkish Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Turkish examination, for business or other reasons, we are happy to help you with your preparations. We are very proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations. We believe this highlights the value of working with Turkish teachers in Leeds whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Turkish examination, administer the examination and issue you your results.

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.

Leeds is a city and metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. In 2001 Leeds' main urban subdivision had a population of 443,247, while the entire city had a population of 770,800 (2008 est.). Leeds is the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban Area, which at the 2001 census had a population of 1.5 million, and the Leeds city region, an economic area with Leeds at its core, had a population of 2.9 million. Leeds is the UK's largest centre for business, legal, and financial services outside London. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Leeds can trace its recorded history to fifth century when the Kingdom of Elmet was covered by the forest of "Loidis", the origin of the name Leeds. The name has been applied to many administrative entities over the centuries. It changed from being the appellation of a small manorial borough, in the 13th century, through several incarnations, to being the name attached to the present metropolitan borough. In the 17th and 18th centuries Leeds became a major centre for the production and trading of wool. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, Leeds developed into a major industrial centre; wool was still the dominant industry but flax, engineering, iron foundries, printing and other industries were important. From being a compact market town in the valley of the River Aire in the 16th century Leeds expanded and absorbed the surrounding villages to become a populous urban centre by the mid-20th century.
