Relevant. Enjoyable. Active. Your company’s training goals are our starting point, so content and learning outcomes relate directly to your priorities. Also, we feel strongly that people learn best when they enjoy the process, so we ensure that training stays interesting, supportive and energizing. Lastly, since language is learned through active use, we motivate employees to speak, think, speak, solve, speak, play and speak in English. Did we mention speak?
Comprehensive? Narrowly Focused? Both? If your goal is to increase employees’ confidence and skills in English fundamentally and for a range of work-related contexts, have a look at our innovative Ascend system. If the aim instead is to sharpen their English for one particular situation or to improve both broad abilities and a certain task-specific one, just get in touch with us to discuss your needs.

Our Ascend system offers structure for increasing employees’ general confidence and skills as well as flexibility to focus on selected topics significant for each individual group – all within the context of job-related situations. The system is organized into six courses according to participants' language abilities.
Before starting, it's important to arrange a one-to-one orientation talk between each learner and an English, Inc. trainer. This short conversation helps identify language needs as well as which course would fit best. Talks can be held at your firm or on our premises in Heidelberg. They’re normally free of charge and carry no obligation. To arrange appointments for employees or to learn more, simply phone or e-mail.
Open Courses
To provide training for a single employee or two, you may find our open courses an ideal option. These courses follow the Ascend system in 10-week segments. Groups of 2 to 5 participants meet at our beautiful garden-side premises in Heidelberg’s old town.

History
Since 2002, focused exclusively on business English training
Andrew Cerniski, founder and manager of English, Inc., studied English and business. His entire career has involved integrating those disciplines for the benefit of non-native speakers of English.
To provide firms with a partner which concentrates all its know-how on making just one thing as good as it can be: English training for work-related purposes – that’s why English, Inc. was founded. This singleness of purpose has allowed us to deepen what business English means, innovate how skills are transferred and approach the entire training process in a personal way.
In 2002, English, Inc. began by offering solely in-house training. Then, as now, we worked with client companies in both the Rhine-Neckar and Rhine-Main regions. One course at a time, English, Inc. was forming its first business relationships.
We launched open classes on our own premises in 2005 in training rooms on the third floor of a historic building overlooking Heidelberg’s main street. Participants gave us a lot of positive feedback, and they enjoyed the Old Town atmosphere. About the walk up three flights of stairs, they graciously said, “Well, ... it's good for one’s health.”
In the following year, English, Inc. introduced the first version of its Ascend system. We were awarded our first large-scale, long-term training project.
In 2011, English, Inc. moved to its current, larger training premises. We’re still on Heidelberg’s main street, but the rooms are even more beautiful – and on the ground floor.
Today, English, Inc. can look back at years of satisfied clients – from one-person companies to very large global players. Two things haven’t changed in all that time. First, our belief that every partner has English needs which are individual and that their training must be built to reflect that. The second is our awareness that the stakeholders in any training project are many: the company as a whole; the personnel department; the course participants themselves; and also the trainers, who are obviously so crucial to learning effectiveness. The satisfaction of all of these stakeholders is our goal and is how English, Inc. measures success. From the feedback we receive, it seems we’re doing a good job. We’re proud of that.
