Seminars recognized as Educational Leave (Bildungsurlaub) in Land Brandenburg and Land Berlin in 2024
Selected courses and seminars from our Global Professional English and our Specialized Communications are offered at our Potsdam-Babelsberg and Belize locations. Each training has 30 or 40 instruction units weekly and is delivered Monday to Friday from 8 am to 1 pm or from 9 am to 4:30 pm respectively.
We offer our Individually Customized Trainings for individual one-on-on trainings and our Standard Trainings for either one-on-one trainings (private) or groups of 2 participants (semi-private).
During our trainings in Belize, participants are encouraged to maximize their overall learning experience by using their free time in the afternoons to go on guided tours given in English in areas of personal interest. We provide a list of recommended guided tours which have been vetted by our team on previous visits. Tours are available in various areas: agroecology, environmental conservation, Maya archaeology, traditional medicine, community development as well as local flora and fauna among others.
