 RESIDENTIAL SEMINARS FOR EXECUTIVES - OPTION D

 THE CONCEPT 

The "residential courses" organized by C.L. TRAINING has been recognized has one of the most effective methods of learning, practising and renewing the language level in a record time.
Today, when time is so precious, our clients, professional people with little availability, increasingly request the organization of these courses.

The participant has the opportunity of immersing in the leanguage and culture in an Spanish atmosphere, from the very first moment, the language used for all exchanges is the target language.

Although the main aim of these courses is the linguistic learning, practice and comunication, we also give a great importance to the sporting and leisure activities and the cultural exchange with the three native titors. All in a relaxed atmosphere.

What are the differences between the traditional linguistic training and the residential concept? We understand these are the intensive, practical and dynamic training and the individual approach to the particular needs of every student/group.

The language is practiced from early in the morning, during breakfast, with the reading and discussion of the daily papers with the tutors and coordinators. After that teaching plan for the day is presented, always open to suggestions from the participants.

The leisure and sport activities make the intensity of the training lighter. Other options are excursions on horses, walks in the countryside or, during the ski season, a trip down the slopes. All of these always with a native speaker as company.

C.L. Training has organized a stay full of possibilities to make our time productive from the learning as well as the personal point of view.
