FAQ's
What exactly is Intercultural Experience?
If you work with people from different cultures, you will already recognise that there are many additional challenges, not just language. Sometimes you may appear to speak the same language, but cultural differences still present challenges. Intercultural experience is about understanding how cultural intelligence, as well as how you use your English, can help you excel in your working environment.
Is this an English language training course?
No. This course goes far beyond learning to use English at work. The main focus of this training is intercultural communication skills, building cultural intelligence and adapting your use of the English language to facilitate better working relationships.
How do I know if I am suitable for the English and Intercultural Experience course?
If your role at work involves communicating with people from other cultures in any way, then it is already highly likely that you will benefit from this training. This course facilitates better communication and relationship-building skills in a multicultural context, and that context could even be simply working with a single customer or supplier from a different culture.
How is the English and Intercultural Experience course delivered?
The course consists of 5 x 2.5-hour online sessions with a live instructor. The training is delivered to a small group of professionals from different cultural backgrounds to ensure maximum sharing of approaches and real-life challenges. We strongly believe this delivery best fits the course outcomes.
What is the cost of the English and Intercultural Experience course?

Is the English and Intercultural Experience course eligible for CPD points?

AllTalk Training is not on the National Framework of Qualifications as a credit bearing course. This is standard practice for professional courses of this nature where the need is for fresh and actionable skills (in a shorter form course) that are demonstrated immediately in the workplace.
