Communicate effectively in the oil business ... In the office; with your clients; at the wellsite.
Communication, Cultural Awareness and Business Skills training in English tailored to the work place, work ethic and philosophy of the oil and gas industry. It's what we do.
Whichever segment you are working in, the underlying language required for your job is driven by the need to communicate well in a technological environment.
At Kingsway we understand your needs. How? Because the school is headed by an ex-Schlumberger employee, Rick Johns, who spent ten years working in a wide range of environments from Colombia to Scotland, and Indonesia to South Africa. Working with Rick is his wife Sue, who travelled extensively with him, teaching English for Business in local companies wherever they went.
All Kingsway courses provide a complete learning path from pre-course on-line assessment, to a 'Course Booster' to ensure you continue to develop your communication skills long after you have left us. Effective training.
Personnel Managers ...
Kingsway is not only a great place to train your employees. With over 20 years’ experience in teaching oil industry personnel we are able to help in other ways. Living with your candidates for a few weeks enables us to observe and comment upon in end-of-course reports :
- Behaviour – can they integrate into the industry philosophy?
- Cultural awareness – can they adapt and be truly international?
- Attitude to work/learning – self-starters or need to be pushed?
- Learning problems – language difficulty, or technical ability?
- Specific language problems – pronunciation, reading/writing?
- Job / character mismatch – can they survive the life-style?
- Multi-tasking – can they keep a broad focus in life?
- Customer focused – customer first or self interest first?
