Learn Business Afrikaans
Language Services Direct’s professional Afrikaans lessons will be designed to match your exact requirements.
The intensity and level of training, the corporate language skills and the pace of the course will all be created in a very bespoke way according to what your learners need.
We aim to meet the specific goals you have for Afrikaans language training in the most cost-effective manner. You will experience a personalised, flexible service that is created specifically to suit your needs.
When you get in touch with us, one of our team will contact you to discuss your learners’ purpose for learning Afrikaans, any other details or requirements of your course, and to arrange an assessment of the learners’ ability.
Once we have an initial idea of your needs, the best Account Manager will be chosen to become your single point of contact. Your Afrikaans course will then be handled entirely by that person and the process from here onwards becomes very simple for you.
We keep an extensive database of trusted trainers and so once we have your requirements, we will search for the ideal Afrikaans language tutor for your learners.
The search can get very specific, if that is needed for your course. As an example, if your team has a need to improve negotiation in Afrikaans, then your Afrikaans teacher will be one who specifically has negotiation training – and perhaps even has experience in your sector.
Together with the teacher, we then craft your Afrikaans course to your specifications, taking into account the availability of both your team and the teacher, what the teacher thinks needs to be focused on first, and your required time scale.
Our Account Manager will then communicate all of this information to you in a clear, simple, and concise manner, and arrange all the set-up procedures.
The involvement of your Account Manager continues throughout the duration of your course to ensure that all questions are answered, and progress is being measured. We will make sure that whatever information the learner’s HR or L&D department requires, they receive clear reports in a timely fashion.
We are rigorous in this approach for two important reasons. The first is that return on investment has to be clear on every course. The second is that we want to ensure the satisfaction of learners with their progress, and that our teachers are receiving their feedback.
We know we are not the only providers of Afrikaans language training, and that you are probably shopping around to figure out which is ideal for your company.
There are a few reasons we think Language Services Direct are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to corporate language training.
Our speciality is providing language and communication skills training specifically for business purposes.
We have worked with thousands of line managers, L&D and procurement specialists and learners and have honed our service to provide exactly what large corporations require.
From the choice of qualified language trainers, to the kind of language and skills we focus on teaching, to our reporting processes, to our locations and set-up of classes – everything has been carefully put together to be easy to understand for corporate clients and appropriate for the business environment.
Our service is one of the most responsive and flexible language training options on the market. Our dedicated Account Manager will ensure that every detail of your learners’ course is geared towards the desired goals.
From content and materials to duration and location to the format and intensity to the monitoring and reporting – every aspect of your Afrikaans language course will be thought-through and customised to your requirements.
We focus on your business goals, and so naturally, we have to become cost-effective in order to provide the return on investment that is required from any organisation. And high-quality and flexibility are our points of pride, so we have naturally formed highly efficient processes to achieve them.
We are consistently focused on developing the most efficient method for everything we do, and are always asking, “How do we get our client to pay less for this without compromising quality?”
The lynchpins that drive the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your course will be your Account Manager. Each of these passionate, hard-working and highly skilled professionals have been carefully vetted to be the right kind of person to manage corporate language training courses.
They will ensure that communication with you is clear and not scattered about as they will be your single point-of-contact.
Your Account Manager will be in your corner, looking to optimise the value-to-cost ratio with full use of our technological systems and they will ensure every element of your course runs smoothly and pulls everything together.
Your Afrikaans language training can be conducted in a wide variety of formats, according to what will be the best way to achieve your goals.
The core course formats that we offer are:
• Flexible Individual Training – individual, one-to-one, personalised Afrikaans lessons, usually conducted at the learner’s office.
• Group Training – Afrikaans lessons for up to six people from the same company, usually conducted at the learners’ office.

• Blended Learning – face-to-face training combined with online, e-learning and/or telephone options so your course can be flexible for busy schedules.
Your business Afrikaans courses will be highly bespoke according to exactly what the learners need to learn and for what purpose. Your Account Manager will ensure that the correct areas are covered.
