Your ideal language learning mix

English for IT professionals.

If you work in IT, you often need to use English, for example with all those international colleagues or your partners abroad. Many companies aim to offer their support services in English. But this does mean you need a good command of English.

    Could this be for you?

    If you work in IT or are preparing for a job in the IT sector, or perhaps even a career abroad.

    You already have command of English to a good intermediary level. That means you speak effortlessly and can function well in a range of situations. However, you still don’t manage to have the same impact when talking to clients as in your native language. Don’t worry! We will improve your English in areas tailored to your job and what you need to be able to do. Your product, clients and discussions form the basis for the training.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients, trainers and trainees say.

At first, I was hesitant towards virtual learning formats like distance learning, probably because it is intimidating to be alone with a teacher in a virtual classroom. Now, I am happy with my choice to go digital! I have significantly improved my level of English in a short period of time. Indeed, this tailor-made language course took my current language level into account, as well as my objectives and personal job context. Our lessons focussed on my linguistic shortcomings. And when necessary, I could ask my teacher Jacques for additional exercises on certain subjects.
Tailor-made online language course
Working virtually enables me to do it from the comfort of my home. Talking to a teacher who is, in turn, at her home makes it easier to ask silly question we normally do not dare to ask. Having private lessons helps me learn faster and with the best results, so that I can communicate effectively not only at work but in informal situations too.

Melanie taught me English, with an exclusive focus on my professional field. That means I am now able to do my coaching sessions in Manchester as well. Even my friends and colleagues soon noticed a big improvement in my English!

As a foreigner who recently began working in the public sector in Belgium, and being a native French speaker, I believe it's crucial to make an effort to learn the mother tongues of other countries. MY BLCC language courses were highly effective, with support materials specifically tailored to my profile. I now find myself comfortably engaging in conversations with colleagues from Flanders in Dutch, even if we occasionally switch to another language later on due to my occasional gaps in vocabulary.

I've been with BLCC for over 4 years, but my journey actually began during university when I had a summer job here. Even then, as a student worker, I felt like a valued part of the team. After graduating, I applied for a job and was thrilled to join a company that shares my passion for languages. Since then, my role at BLCC has grown alongside me. I started as an account coordinator, managing language training courses from start to finish. When I expressed interest in a more commercial role, BLCC supported my goals and guided me in the right direction. BLCC is a small company with big dreams, emphasizing excellence, empathy with clients and trainers, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. In return, BLCC provides a trusting environment, professional growth, flexible work arrangements, and a comfortable setting that feels like home. Proud to be part of this team!
Jody Dewancker - Training Advisor
My time at BLCC has been truly remarkable so far. The bright and learner-centered environment fostered my personal growth, while the challenging tasks pulled me to excel. Also the charismatic team made each day a joy to be at work. I am incredibly excited about what more the future holds!
Liesbeth Maes- Project Manager
I’ve been working as a coordinator at BLCC since april and it has been a fantasic experience. The team is not just great; they're exceptional in their work ethics and teamwork. The flexibility in working hours is a game-changer, allowing for an optimal work-life balance. I'm grateful to be part of this dynamic and accommodating work environment.
