We devote much time and energy on measuring customer satisfaction, with just one goal: our clients must be 100% satisfied. The interim and final evaluations are always a fixed component of our language training. We also regularly organise surveys ourselves or take part in them (Cedeo). In this way, we keep our finger on the pulse and can quickly correct faults.

Language Partners is proud of its long-term relationships with many of our clients.

Audrey de Jong, HR Consultant ING

Language Partners provides English business courses for ING at any desired level. English writing and speaking skills play an important role in this international company, and ING participants are very satisfied with the content and quality of the lessons and the professional approach of the trainers.

During the relatively brief period that I have worked with Language Partners, which is approximately six months, I have become very enthusiastic about our collaboration. I like that Language Partners can provide training at the end of the working day at the offices of both AkzoNobel in Amsterdam and Arnhem. This has turned out to be very efficient for the staff because, in this way, the number of travel movements is minimised. I receive only positive feedback from the participants about the substantive part of the training.

Anja Verscheijden, Interim HR Manager at Kuwait Petroleum

As interim HR Manager at Kuwait Petroleum Research & Technology (KPR&T), along with my other colleagues, I work regularly with Language Partners. Whether it is the rapid training of foreign staff in Dutch or the professionalisation of the English language of the Dutch-speaking staff, Language Partners always comes with an appropriate and personal recommendation, tailored for the level and wishes of the individual staff member. It is also pleasing that training can start immediately, if necessary. In addition to this professional approach and the customisation, I particularly appreciate their customer-oriented manner and “can-do mentality”: they always look at how something can be done, no matter how difficult my requirements or deadlines sometimes are. Students tell me that they appreciate the personal approach and the flexibility with regard to scheduling the lessons.

Since 2006, Language Partners has been our regular language training provider. In the beginning, English, German and French language training was organised for the staff in our office. In recent years, however, the focus has been more on Dutch language training because most of our new staff come from abroad. We initially opted for individual, customised training at the Language Partners locations, but later, due to the larger numbers, we decided to switch to in-company group training.

As a company, we have been very satisfied with the training, but, more importantly, so have the staff members.
