The importance of English in the business environment
English is the global language par excellence, and mastering it is essential for building business contacts, negotiating international agreements and communicating effectively in a globalised environment. Companies that invest in English training for their staff have a clear competitive advantage, as they can broaden their reach, access new markets and enjoy better opportunities for growth and development.
Types of courses and programmes for companies
- General and business English courses: These courses focus on developing communication skills and acquiring specific vocabulary related to the business environment. Typical workplace situations and scenarios are covered, such as writing emails, giving presentations and phone conversations.
- Language immersion programmes: These programmes offer an intensive language-learning experience, where participants are immersed in a fully English-speaking environment. Through practical activities and experiential learning, employees can improve their fluency and confidence using English in a short period of time.
- Personalised classes: Callan School offers the option to tailor courses to each company’s specific needs, taking into account their sector and learning objectives. This ensures a personalised and efficient approach to developing language skills that are relevant for employees.

Does your workforce or management team need to learn or improve their English, speak it fluently, or acquire vocabulary and structures typical of business, corporate and financial English? At Callan School, we analyse your team’s needs to offer you a wide range of English courses in Barcelona tailored to your goals.
In addition, you can benefit from FUNDAE subsidies so the training does not mean an additional cost to your company.
Specialists in FUNDAE-funded English courses for companies
- We hold an information meeting to present our FUNDAE-funded English courses for companies. We will present our course methodology and organise the English course best suited to your needs.
- We calculate your company’s credit. This is the amount that determines the maximum cost that can be funded through FUNDAE. It cannot exceed the available annual training credit.
- We handle all the necessary procedures with the Administration
– Registering the training.
– Attendance tracking.
– Notifying the end of the course. - The company offsets the cost of the training delivered, an amount that will be deducted (in full or in part) from Social Security contributions for Social Insurance.
What our business English courses cover
To tailor the content of the English classes, we first need to know:
- Your specific goals and needs
- The level of control you want to exercise
- Students’ level of listening comprehension and speaking skills
- Which areas you want to focus on, based on the situations in which you need to speak English
From there, in the course we will work based on:
- Objectives: defining the level or degree of English knowledge students will reach based on the number of hours taught. In other words, how much information they will be able to absorb and express.
- Materials: the accelerated conversational methodology of the Callan Method, materials for developing specific areas (business, finance, etc.), and any other complementary resources you would like to provide.
Monitoring and assessment of results
So you can carry out the monitoring and follow-up you need on the progress of your company’s English course, we will provide you with:
- Progress reports: a quarterly teaching note with comments, observations and suggestions. At the end of each period, a full course report is provided with the progress made and level achieved.
- Attendance reports: each student’s attendance percentage.
These reports, prepared based on teachers’ monitoring and assessment, will be provided to both the company and the students.
Subsidised English courses for companies in Barcelona
Did you know that any of our courses could be free for you?
Our business English courses in Barcelona can be subsidised or funded by the European Social Fund through Tripartite Training for Employment.
This is because each year your company is allocated a credit that you can use to train your employees. This credit is calculated based on the amount of Social Security your company paid the previous year and the number of employees, and it is deducted from your Social Security payments. If you don’t use this credit, you lose it.
At our English academy in Barcelona, we provide all the information you need and take care of all the paperwork and administration so that obtaining a subsidy or funding is as quick and straightforward as possible.
