Our "Living and Working in the UK" course has been designed specifically for expatriates and their families that are moving to the UK or who plan to relocate in the future. Expatriate relocation to any foreign country can be daunting for even the most travel hardy as it introduces new challenges and drastic changes to one’s living and working patterns.
‘Culture Shock’ is a term widely used yet little understood when discussing expatriate relocation. We appreciate the difficulties expats go through in settling down in a new country. How? Because our cross cultural trainers have been on both sides of the fence.
Through their professional careers they have experienced the ups and downs of moving to and living in another country and now bring a wealth of experience in helping people through their expat cultural awareness courses.
All our courses are tailored to meet the demands of each and every client. They may be individuals coming here on assignments or longer term contracts, couples moving to the UK for a few years or families permanently relocating.
Our indispensable cultural awareness briefings aim to do one thing - minimise the negative impact of culture shock and ensure a person's / family's time in the UK is a fruitful and positive one.
Examples of areas we cover in our briefings are:
Culture and Orientation
History
Politics

In addition we can provide more organisational and company culture focused cultural awareness courses to foreign managers and staff who may feel they could benefit in their new roles by understanding the complexities of the British workplace.
We provide guidance in cross-cultural awareness, management techniques, time management, interpersonal and communication skills. This takes on a more hands, one to one coaching approach and offers the client a more work orientated way of settling into a new company or office.
