Today, organisations expect more from a language partner than just language lessons. They are looking for support that helps employees communicate more effectively, collaborate across borders, and continue developing their skills.
With Lerian-Online joining Learnlight Belgium, BLCC, Lerian-Online, and Learnlight are combining their expertise. Together, we offer organisations an even stronger portfolio of business language training, communication courses, and AI-powered learning solutions, while maintaining the personalised approach and local expertise that our clients value.
A stronger partner for organisations in Belgium
Since BLCC joined Learnlight in late 2025, we have continued to build a forward-looking learning partner for companies and organisations in Belgium.
The addition of Lerian-Online strengthens this ambition. Each of the three organisations brings its own expertise:
-
decades of experience in business language training;
-
strong local roots in the Belgian market;
-
personalised guidance and tailored solutions;
-
innovative AI-powered learning technology;
-
an international network of trainers and experts;
-
a comprehensive range of programmes in language, communication, and intercultural skills.
For companies, this means having one partner that can support both local and international learning needs.
What does this mean for BLCC and Lerian-Online clients?
The trusted partnership remains unchanged.
Personalised guidance, experienced trainers, and a strong focus on quality will continue to be at the heart of our approach. At the same time, clients will benefit from additional opportunities through Learnlight’s international network and technology.
This includes:
-
a broader range of business language training programmes;
-
online, face-to-face, and blended learning solutions;
-
AI-powered learning technology;
-
language assessments and proficiency testing;
-
communication and intercultural collaboration training;
-
support for both Belgian and international teams.
Our personalised approach remains the same, while our capabilities continue to grow.
One shared ambition: helping people communicate better
For BLCC, this next step is a natural continuation of our mission.
Since 1990, BLCC has supported companies, government organisations, and institutions with professional language training and communication solutions. Over the past twenty years, Lerian-Online has also built a strong reputation as a trusted partner for corporate language training in Belgium.
Both organisations share the same belief: learning is most effective when it is personalised, practical, and connected to the learner’s professional context.
By combining this expertise with Learnlight’s international reach and technology, we create a unique combination of local expertise and global capabilities.

In this way, we help organisations develop the skills that are essential in today’s international working environment.
A shared vision of learning
According to Kathleen Heireman, Regional Director of Learnlight Belgium and Managing Director of BLCC, the partnership creates new opportunities for clients:
“Lerian-Online is a highly respected organisation that complements BLCC’s strengths. Together, we can support organisations across all segments of the Belgian market while maintaining the personalised approach and strong client relationships they value. Our clients benefit from a broader range of solutions and more opportunities, without compromising on the quality of our services.”
Jan Hardeman, CEO of Lerian-Online, also highlights the benefits of the partnership:
“Our clients will continue to receive the trusted service they know and value. At the same time, they will gain access to a global platform, AI-driven innovation, and a much broader range of learning solutions. As technology continues to transform the way people learn, this is the right moment to take this step.”
Rupert Hillier, co-founder and CEO of Learnlight, emphasises that Belgium remains an important growth market.
"By combining the local expertise of Lerian-Online and BLCC with Learnlight’s international platform, we are continuing to build a leading partner for organisations investing in language, communication, and personal development. This acquisition reflects our continued investment in language learning and our ambition to build a leading platform for corporate learning solutions in Belgium.”

In the coming months, Learnlight, BLCC, and Lerian-Online will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition. Continuity, quality, and client satisfaction will remain our priorities.
From Belgium, we will continue to invest in innovative learning solutions, AI-powered technology, and personalised guidance. In doing so, we help companies strengthen their employees’ language, communication, and collaboration skills.
