Recognising the evolving demands of the modern workplace, Cheshire Language Academy is set to launch a series of new English and work skills courses this September.
These specialised programmes aim to equip both current and future employees with not only essential English language proficiency but also crucial industry-specific knowledge, addressing the growing national focus on workforce integration and efficiency.
Janet Whitfield, Director of Cheshire Language Academy, highlighted the academy’s understanding that language skills alone are often insufficient for effective workplace integration. “As the focus intensifies on getting more people into the workplace, we understand that English language skills alone may not be enough. That’s why we’re excited to offer a range of new courses designed to upskill your current and future employees.”
The academy has developed three new specialised courses, each combining English language study with vital industry insights:
• English and Logistics: Designed for individuals in the logistics sector, running on Tuesdays from 12:30PM to 2:30PM.
• English and Care: Geared towards the care industry, with sessions on Tuesdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00PM.
• English and Health & Safety: Focusing on essential health and safety knowledge, held on Wednesdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00PM.
Each course spans 15 weeks, with two hours of instruction per week, totalling 30 hours of comprehensive learning. The cost per learner is £295, which includes a course book. The first courses are scheduled to commence on Monday, September 15, 2025.
Classes will primarily be held at the Warrington Business Centre, 67 Bewsey Street, Warrington WA2 7JQ. However, for businesses with a cohort of 10 or more learners, Cheshire Language Academy offers the flexibility of delivering bespoke courses directly on-site. This allows for content to be precisely tailored to the specific requirements of a company, ensuring employees gain immediately applicable practical knowledge.
“Our goal is to ensure your employees not only understand their roles but truly comprehend what’s expected of them,” Janet added, emphasising the academy’s commitment to practical, impactful education.
While individual enrolments are welcome, the academy strongly encourages businesses to consider these programs as a strategic investment in their workforce. Empowering employees with enhanced skills is expected to lead to greater efficiency, improved communication, and increased confidence within teams.
To ensure every learner is placed at the appropriate level and can maximise their success, Cheshire Language Academy provides a free English assessment. These assessments are typically conducted at the Academy but can also be arranged at the workplace for convenience.
