Commercial Language Training are proud to provide English language training for several Premier League football clubs including Manchester City FC, Brentford FC and West Ham United FC.
We provide fully tailored ‘English for Football’ courses for players, which combine general English communication skills, football related terminology and work towards the Tier 2 UK English VISA test. We can also help them with preparation for press interviews and driving theory tests to allow them to settle in the UK more easily.
English for Football Training
Our English tutors are highly qualified to teach English at all levels. We also work closely with the Player Support Team to select tutors according to the exact profile of the delegate – eg ability to speak the native language of the player if required. Our local tutors go to the football training ground or players’ homes to teach during the season, or can teach remotely to fit in with busy schedules. We are flexible and understand that players’ schedules often change, so we move lessons to accommodate matches and extra training sessions.
At CLT Ltd we provide an assessment of the players’ current skills and design a training programme of weekly or intensive sessions to get the players to the level required. We offer full flexibility in terms of what time/day the player prefers to have their lesson.
We also arrange general English training for the players’ families at their homes, which is important, so they all feel more settled in the UK.
Foreign Language Training
CLT also provide foreign language training for staff at the football clubs, which can help new signings from abroad integrate into the Club more smoothly. Player Care staff often like to learn the basic language of the players so they can make introductions at the training ground and greet the players’ families at matches. It all plays a huge part in the players’ welfare and settling into their new club and life in the UK.
