Who is the inTense English course for?

InTense English is for anyone who wants to make measurable progress in their English speaking, writing or presentation skills in record time. For example, managers who are going to lead an international team, professionals who want to sharpen up their English for client meetings, or expats preparing for a new role. inTense can also be followed in addition to an existing training programme or onboarding programme.

How is the inTense programme structured?

After the quote has been agreed (you can request a quote here), we’ll schedule a short intake interview to discuss your goals. Then we’ll draw up a personalised lesson plan, adapted to your level and learning objectives. Usually the training is for a single intensive week, but it can also be spread over several shorter weeks. You can take classes at UvA Talen in Amsterdam, at your workplace or 100% online. Afterwards, you also have the option of continued practice through additional e-learning or individual follow-up lessons. This allows you to keep up your progress.

Can I take part with other colleagues?

Of course! In consultation, we can create an inTense programme for two to five participants at the same level. This allows you to learn together, but it also leaves plenty of room for personal coaching. It’s ideal for teams who need to prepare intensively for an important project, international collaboration or client visit. Would you prefer to work with a larger group? Then our in-company English course is a good alternative.

What levels are available?

InTense training is available at any level, from A0 to C1. During the intake interview, we determine your entry level and fully tailor the programme accordingly. Whether you want to strengthen existing skills or refine your language use for complex business communication, we provide a programme that’s perfectly adapted to your needs. 

Would you prefer something less intensive?

No problem! Would you prefer to learn at a slower pace, but still with personal coaching? Then check out our tailormade English course, which is flexible in pace, location and content. Or our e-learning English course, which allows you to you learn independently in your own time. We are always happy to help you decide what would best fit your schedule and learning style.

InTense: a week living in English

During the inTense course, you fully immerse yourself in the English language and culture. You learn how to communicate professionally in an international context, as well as how to hold informal conversations or interact in an online meeting. From “Could you walk us through your proposal?” to “How was your weekend?”, after just one week your spoken English will be noticeably more fluent, natural and assured. And you won’t just hear the difference; you’ll feel it, too.
