Starling Skills help you to develop your work-related English by offering short, focused courses which will give you practical language and skills to do your job better.
We offer online training with masters-qualified teachers to develop English language communication skills. Better, clearer communication means a more efficient, professional and happier team. We provide a range of courses with focused outcomes to deliver real results in a six or twelve-hour training course. Don’t see what you’re looking for? We will create a specially designed course around your objectives and context.
We believe in a communicative, socially-constructed theory of language and learning. Students work together and learn from each other. Given the multicultural nature of the modern workplace, learning how to best share a common understanding is more important than ever.
Our courses are designed for small classes of three to twelve students to work with our expert teachers using video conferencing software. We also adapt to use the online tools you use in your workplace, facilitating the essential connection between language and digital literacy.
