We have many years of experience of welcoming individuals and groups from international companies and organisations for short tailor-made programmes in Oxford. The advantages of arranging your training programme at Oxford International Study Centre are many:

* We have a reputation for excellence. The leader of a group of senior bankers from one of the largest banks in China who recently attended an OISC programme said that they had attended training courses in New York, Canada, Singapore and the UK and this was undoubtedly the best.

* We are able to arrange introductions to major decision makers in local and national government, industry and commerce. These 'match-making' events, enable your staff to make contacts with appropriate business leaders during their programme, which increases opportunities for future business contracts and outsourcing.

* Our seminars are often held in the University, which provides excellent training venues and facilities. We are able to arrange for your staff to dine in the University, and to meet with people from the University Departments.

* Before the commencement of the training programme, we invite the senior people in the organisation to visit us in Oxford to discuss their training requirements, and to draw up a detailed needs analysis questionnaire. We have a reputation for flexibility and responsiveness...we seek to design training programmes that meet the specific requirements and expectations of each client.

* All of our staff have experience of both international business and training, and many have years of experience of working abroad at senior level. We draw upon expertise not only from the business world, but also the educational sector. The increasing globalization of companies and organisations leads to the increased need for Intercultural Business Communications in English. We have enormous experience of integrating sessions on international communications for businesses into the training schedule, if required.

* We are also able to help and advise your staff on educational opportunities for their children in the UK. We work with numerous leading boarding schools and universities, including Oxford.
