Optima Training offer all levels of German language courses. If you are moving to Germany, work for a German company and want to progress your career or your work involves dealing with Germans on a regular basis, we can give you the help that you need.

Although most of our business clients prefer to learn during the working day, we are able to provide language development programmes either before or after office hours - and even at the weekends.

Our trainers work around your schedules, not the other way round, at a time to suit you.

Learn German - Conversational Skills

Our Conversational Skills programmes are aimed at learners already at an intermediate level of ability - you will already be able to have basic conversations in German.

The sessions make use of a range of interactive materials to stimulate discussion and learning, whilst getting you usded to hearing a range of regional accents. They are ideal for anyone that wants to 'keep their language skills up' and increase day-to-day vocabulary.

Learn German - Tailored Courses

Whatever your current level, we can design a course that meets your specific needs. You tell us what you want to achieve and we will help you get there, with a course that takes into account your own learning needs.

We currently run weekly courses for several companies located in the East Midlands. Groups from 2 to 10 students learn a mixture of social and business English for 1.5 - 2 hours each week. The trainers use a mixture of our own resources, worksheets, audio material and videos.

The courses are flexible so that if learners go on business trips or attend meetings, the lesson times can be changed.

German - Business Language Boost

Several clients choose our modular approach to language learning. The Business Language Boost programme offers single day sessions that target very specific language skills and business objectives.

We offer specialised courses for - attending job interviews, giving presentations, attending trade fairs, making sales visits abroad, dealing with visitors etc.

German - Intensive Culture Experience

Waterfalls, caves, farmhouses and all the majesty of the Black Forest provide the backdrop to your learning experience. Relax at the end of the day with good local food and drink whilst immersing yourself into the local culture.

A learning leader will act as your guide and tutor during the experience who will be a qualified trainer, fully fluent in German, with local knowledge of the area. The experience itself is flexible and the intensity of learning is up to you, but we recommend around 5 hours language training per day including a working lunch with your learning leader.
