Blog & Learning Materials
Communication is key to your business running smoothly and efficiently. We equip workers with the skills to communicate well with customers and colleagues, and to function safely and confidently at work. We offer flexible courses for employees and apprentices. Alternatively, we can design a business contract or adapt a workplace English learning course specific to your business needs.
English for Employees is a free, part-time English course for employees who are New Zealand citizens or permanent residents with low levels of English.
The course teaches practical English for work, including how to communicate in social situations and how to read and understand health and safety information.
Workers learn with experienced and qualified teachers, in small and friendly groups.
Class times are flexible. Classes can fit around a learner's work commitments. We teach classes at our centres, online and in the workplace.
There is no cost to the employee or employer.
ELPNZ designs training specifically tailored to your employees’ language needs. We work with your business to determine the training focus.
Many employers say the key issues are communication with other colleagues and customers. Some staff need to build basic workplace literacy and numeracy – to understand instructions and comply with safety regulations.
For others, it’s a need for staff to learn more about Kiwi workplace culture, so they understand more about ‘how we do things’ at work in NZ.
Your employee can integrate with our current classes, or we may be able to provide them with a private trainer.
Our trainers are all qualified and experienced, with expertise in delivering tailored workplace programmes to culturally diverse workforces. We frequently work with a mix of language levels and backgrounds.
This depends on your needs and availabilities. Contact us to discuss!
Your business comes first. Classes are delivered with minimum interruption to work hours, depending on staff availability. We will help you to determine the best approach – lessons as part of a paid work day, or after-hours, or both? We accommodate to fit all needs.
A part-time programme for workers (part or full time) who want to improve their workplace language, literacy and numeracy. Courses are up to 45-hours. A limited number of free places are available each year. The course is restricted to residents and citizens. Class times and content is flexible.
