Language Training
Say hello... bonjour... konnichiwa... To Vox Language Training. Do you know how many spoken languages there are in the world? We’ll tell you.
6,909.
It’s a staggering figure, but one which illustrates the absolute necessity of business communication beyond your native tongue. Whether it’s for client meetings in Europe or conference calls to China, competent and confident use of foreign languages is now a workplace essential.
And that’s where we come in. Vox Language Training offers high-quality language tuition to businesses and individuals throughout the UK. Part of The Language Machine Group, we have more than a decade of experience, providing flexible, tailored tuition to thousands of delighted clients. Our tutors are the best in the business (each and every one highly experienced in their field), and while we can’t speak all 6,909 languages in the world, we’ve got most of the bases covered... So, for flexible and professional language training, say hello to Vox.
We know you’re busy... We’d love you to read this brochure cover to cover, but we know you’re a very busy person. So, give us a call or drop us a quick email, and we’ll fill you in on all the important bits. In Spanish, if you like.

Business Language: Struggling to greet French clients? “Enchanté(e) de vous rencontrer” is a polite and professional way to say “Pleased to meet you”.

How it works
(In plain English – we don’t do Double Dutch)
Once you’ve decided to go ahead with lessons from Vox (a fine decision, if we may say so), we’ll ask you to undertake an initial assessment. This enables us to appoint the right tutor for you, and to devise a tailored-yet-flexible program that best suits your needs. You'll then receive a welcome pack, featuring your unique program details as well as any relevant learning materials. We'll also confirm dates (days and times arranged around your busy schedule) and introduce you to your hand-selected tutor. And just like that, you’re ready to get started. The magic is about to happen. Lessons will begin and you’ll start to benefit from our constant stream of support, assessment and feedback.
5 simple steps to success 1. Let us know your requirements
2. Complete the assessment questionnaire we provide
3. We’ll hand-pick your tutor and tailor a program for you
4. Begin lessons, at your place or ours
Unrivalled support As a Vox language student, you'll receive dedicated support from your tutor and the Vox team right the way through your programme. Even outside lesson hours we can provide telephone and online access to expert help. We want you to succeed, and will do everything we can to get you where you want to be.
Business Language: Don’t go all the way to Spain for a meeting and forget to leave your business card! “Aquí tiene mi tarjeta” means “here is my card”.
5. Language barrier smashed – it’s time to take on the world.
Our tutors: The people minding your language... At Vox, we understand that language students want to learn from the best. That’s why we only work with highly qualified, vastly experienced tutors. Each and every one of them is educated to degree level, and has to meet our strict criteria before joining the team. All our tutors are dedicated to teaching and have an unrivalled amount of experience. So, you can rest assured - before our tutors put you through your paces, we’ve put them through theirs! Best of all, they have hands-on business experience, and can teach specialised languages to the business, financial, medical and legal sectors (to name just a few). As a result, you benefit from practical training with highly relevant, real life examples.

Cultural Learning Our tutors don’t just teach foreign languages - they teach foreign cultures too. After all, inside knowledge of cultural peculiarities can make or break a business deal. Vox training courses include a cultural and social aspect to help students deal with clients in a variety of social situations away from the office. So you’ll not only know what to say – you’ll know what to do, how to behave and exactly which cutlery you’re supposed to be using…
Business Language: Did somebody say ‘fika’? Then it’s time for a ‘coffee break’! It would be if you were in Sweden, anyway.
Suits you? Of course it does... Our range of courses has something for everybody Our flexible approach means we have courses to suit all needs. So whether you need one-day immersion in Italian, or prefer to get a gentle grasp of German – there’s a Vox course for you. We teach individuals or groups, and constantly monitor your progress throughout – making any necessary adjustments to maximise your benefit.

E-learning courses (tuition that stands for excellence) These days, if something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing online. So naturally, we now offer language training courses over the internet. You can train online in full, or combine e-learning with a more traditional face-to-face course. Online lessons are just as flexible as our face-to-face offering. You can take lessons at any time from morning to evening, and log-on from home, the office, the park – anywhere with an internet connection. And to keep things personal, you’ll still be able to see and communicate with your trainer online, via video conferencing and live tutorial software. Online tuition can also be combined with phone support – particularly handy for workers on location in foreign countries, needing fast access to our tuition services.
