Technical Writing in GxP Areas
You need to write complex texts and strive to improve your written articulateness? Focusing on practical application, we will start by analysing documents you have already finalised (such as reports or SOPs) for weaknesses: based on our inital analysis of mistakes, stylistic shortcomings, or lack of clarity, we develop guidelines and checklists for unambiguous and precise wording. This enables you to write texts that are easier to understand. This class is available for both English and German.
Audit and Inspection Preparation (e.g. for Presentations for the FDA or Other Authorities)
Together, we go over your relevant contents and any documents you may have already prepared, clarify questions regarding vocabulary and wording, and discuss appropriate useful phrases. This course puts an additional emphasis on strategies for dealing with questions and the behaviour in the audit situation.
Translations – Specialised on Documents in a GxP-regulated Environment
We are pleased to offer you to translate your documents (E-G and G-E) and, if you wish, provide feedback. Our work is characterised by the fact that translations are prepared by team members with experience in the relevant areas that can therefore often better capture the complex topics. This allows a more adequate rendering than texts generated by general translation services can provide.
Business Courses
Mastering Meetings – Discussion Management & Negotiations
You wish to give your opinion in a diplomatic yet effective way, but when you have found the right words, the meeting has already moved on to the next item on the agenda? This course builds your experience and confidence with plenty of practice of speaking freely. You will practice professional oral conversation in a wide range of contexts (e.g. agreeing and disagreeing, handling questions, formal or informal meetings) and topics that can be adapted to your personal requirements and interests.
For advanced learners of English, we also have a class with a focus on business negotiations in our portfolio.
Presentations
This class focuses on not only the essential useful phrases and vocabulary items but also body language, posture and delivery. Together, we develop the basics, and you have plenty of opportunity to apply them in practice. Dedicated phases serve to provide you with constructive feedback to your own presentations. As a result, you will become more comfortable with giving presentations – which will take out some of the stress in your next appointments. This class is available in English and in German.
Applications and Job Interviews
You are looking around the job market or wish to apply for a specific new position? Together, we draw your up-to-date international résumé/CV and accompanying cover letter. We also prepare you for the job interview.
Support Service in English-Language Business Events
English-language events such as workshops or customer meetings sometimes make you wish you had support by your side? We accompany you in the situation, helping you overcome language barriers and avoid misunderstandings – giving you a safety net and making sure communication works.

Cambridge Certificate Preparation Courses
You wish to provide evidence of your English skills with an internationally recognised certificate? It will be our pleasure to advise you on which Cambridge exam (KET, PET, FCE) is right for you and to prepare you efficiently for the test.
Grammar Courses
The mention of grammar makes you break into cold sweat, but you are aware that it is one of the cornerstones of learning a language? This course approaches the topics systematically and makes use of numerous oral tasks to point out the practical relevance of the structures studied. This gives you confidence in using the language – and you might even discover that grammar can be fascinating and fun.
We offer this course for different levels, available in a range from beginner level to the refinement of advanced knowledge.
Proofreading
We offer proofreading if you require English-language documents for inspections or for submission to authorities (such as submission documents, correspondence with authorities, Capital Approval Requests, deviation reports, or qualification and commissioning reports). As an additional service, we provide the option of converting the document into a presentation.
Weekly English Classes
You would like to attend a regular class that flexibly covers topics arising at your workplace, looks at articles about the latest industry trends, and uses current authentic audios and videos, introducing you to a new lexical field or grammar topic every week?
We support you for as long as you like! This course format is especially suitable if you wish to keep up and expand the skills you gained in a specialist course.
