Over 50 years of experience
Language Partners was founded in 1969 as ITA (Instituut voor Talenonderwijs Amsterdam). Various mergers with Eurolinguist, Feedback Talen and Capital Language Services, among others, led to further expansion across the Netherlands and the development of specific sector expertise. With over 50 years of experience, we continue to invest in innovation, quality and the development of our trainers and training methods.
100% tailored to your organisation
Customisation is our speciality. Every training programme at Language Partners is designed around your organisation’s specific goals, language levels and working context. Whether you need individual training or group sessions, in-company at your office or at one of our locations — we design the content, format, duration and scheduling together with you.
Our primary training format is blended learning: a combination of weekly trainer sessions and independent practice on our online platform, followed by a three-month post-course programme. This approach consistently delivers the best and most lasting results. Read more about our way of working.
Learning with maximum result
Everyone learns in their own way. At Language Partners, we believe you get the most from language training when you learn in a way that suits you — with material that is relevant to your daily work and a trainer who understands your professional context. That is why every programme is built around the participant’s learning goals, language level and working environment.
Research by Cambridge English consistently shows that employees who receive tailored, practice-oriented language training outperform those who follow generic language courses — both in language development and in professional performance.
Experienced trainers from the Language Partners Academy
Our trainers are an enthusiastic and versatile team of experienced professionals. The majority are native speakers, passionate about sharing their language with others. All trainers are certified through the Language Partners Academy, where they follow workshops on teaching techniques, methods and sector-specific knowledge. This ensures our trainers’ expertise is always current and their teaching is directly relevant to the professional context of each participant.
A dedicated point of contact throughout the process
With our Key Account Approach, we respond to each client’s specific wishes and work efficiently on both standard and large-scale projects. From the first contact to the final evaluation, you have a dedicated Client Manager or Training Coordinator managing the entire process — so you can focus on your organisation while we take care of the rest.
