Depending on the type of language training you choose, different providers and models may be available to you. Traditional Italian courses are offered by a very large number of schools throughout Switzerland, for example in Bern, Zurich, Basel or Lucerne. The courses are usually held on the premises of the language school, at fixed times and according to a fixed timetable. This is also the case for most business courses, but the situation is quite different for company courses. These are developed entirely according to the needs of the company and therefore the choice of location, time, content, objectives and duration are very much geared towards the customer.

There may be providers who offer company seminars for Italian, which are held according to a prefabricated pattern and are the same for all companies. However, this is not the aim of such a course. Italian courses for companies are usually individually tailored to the company in question, the employees to be taught and their positions and activities, so that the lessons bring the greatest possible benefit for all those involved. The content, structure, location, duration, time and objectives of the Italian courses are largely determined by you as the person responsible and are then developed into a teaching concept by the seminar provider or language school. This means that your employees learn exactly what they need to communicate with Italian-speaking customers, suppliers, business partners or employees.

You may want some of your employees to receive telephone training so that they are better able to answer inquiries or help solve problems. Others of your employees may want to be able to write emails and place written orders more fluently with the help of Italian courses, while others may want to draw up contracts and negotiate terms and conditions - all in an understandable and professional business Italian. All of this is easily possible with corporate Italian courses, because you as the client determine the framework and content.

However, the situation is different if only a few of your employees need to learn Italian and a company seminar is not really worthwhile. In such a case, you should resort to business courses in which your employees learn business Italian in public courses. This can either be general business Italian or specialized Italian for different industries, the content of which is determined by the schools.
