Cultural awareness for business

If you will be working with colleagues or customers from another country, why not take a short course and learn about the history and culture of their country. Our tutors have expertise in countries including China, France and Spain. Contact us to find out more.

Case study: Lloyd’s Register

Sam James, a surveyor for Lloyd’s Register, needed to learn some basic Chinese when he was posted to Shanghai for four years. “City Lit was the most helpful and flexible of all of the establishments I contacted. After a four-week intensive programme I was able to pronounce the words correctly and had learned a seemingly vast vocabulary. When I arrived in China my new colleagues were immediately impressed – the grounding I had at City Lit was invaluable.”
