1. What happens if a participant misses a course session?
Although consistent attendance is essential for progress, we understand that unforeseen situations may arise. In the event of an absence, the student may make up the material covered by guided individual studyThe teacher will transmit the materials worked on in class and provide clear indications on the objectives, so that the participant can return to the next session with the homework done and prepared for the new concepts.
Here is a reformulation that emphasizes teacher's expertise and on quality assurance, being suitable for both individual learners and HR managers who want to know that their employees are placed correctly.
2. Can a participant change groups if their level of study proves to be inadequate??
Yes. During the first two sessions of each module, our teachers carefully monitor how each participant interacts with the material and exercises their language skills. If the level is found to be too advanced or too easy, the teacher will make a recommendation for transfer to a more appropriate group, thus ensuring that the learning process remains effective and motivating for the learner.
3. How important is individual study in complementing course sessions?
Individual study is an essential pillar for consolidating knowledge and achieving the specific objectives of each level. For constant and efficient progress, we strongly recommend allocating at least 15 minutes daily individual study and approximately 30 minutes on weekends.
4. How can I monitor the attendance and progress of my employees?
You have two complementary monitoring tools at your disposal:
Digital Platform: Through the dedicated customer interface, you can access the attendance situation and student status in real time.
Advisory Reporting: The project coordinator assigned to your company submits a monthly attendance report, and at the end of the module, an individual progress report.
5. Are the teachers native speakers or Romanian speakers?
Our team is made up of both native speakers and Romanian teachers, but their selection is not based solely on linguistic origin, but on pedagogical expertise. Regardless of nationality, all IH teachers hold the qualification Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). This prestigious international certification guarantees not only an impeccable language level, but also the mastery of a modern teaching methodology, centered on the learner and measurable results, according to the global standards of International House.
6. Is the diploma issued by IH recognized by employers or state institutions?
Certificates issued by International House are recognized and highly valued in the international business environment and by top employers, thanks to the rigorous assessment standards specific to our global network. Although we are not part of the accreditation system of public state institutions, the IH certification serves as indisputable proof of the learner's real language skills. Moreover, as an authorized examination center Cambridge, our training aligns learners with European standards (CEFR), giving them a major competitive advantage in recruitment and promotion processes within multinational companies.
7. Can the courses be held at our company headquarters or are they limited to IH/online locations?
We offer full flexibility in organizing sessions, adapting to your company's infrastructure and work policy. Training programs can be delivered in three formats:
At the beneficiary's headquarters (In-company): Our teachers travel to your premises to facilitate learning in a familiar environment for employees.
Online (Virtual Classroom): Interactive sessions on dedicated platforms, ideal for teams working in hybrid or remote mode.
At International House offices: In our modernly equipped classrooms, offering an immersive learning experience outside the office space.
8. Is it possible to reschedule or recover meetings during peak periods (e.g. audit, major deadlines)?
We understand the dynamics of the business environment and the need for flexibility. Depending on the duration and structure of the chosen module, the contract provides for a specific number of sessions that can be rescheduled or recovered outside the initially established calendar. This option allows your team to manage periods of intense activity without compromising the continuity of the course or the full coverage of the planned material.
9. What is the recommended number of participants for a corporate group so that the course remains effective?
To guarantee optimal interaction and sufficient time for expression for each learner, we recommend an ideal number of 6 participants per group. This structure allows the teacher to provide personalized feedback and monitor individual progress in detail. However, to meet organizational needs, we accept a maximum of 10 participants, a threshold that represents the upper limit for maintaining a high standard of quality and productive group dynamics.
10. Can you adapt the course topic for a specific language (English for IT, Finance, Sales or Customer Support)?
Yes, our programs allow for the adaptation of terminology and case studies according to your team’s field of activity. However, it is important to note that a general language module (intended to reinforce grammatical structures and basic fluency) cannot be completely transformed into a niche course.
11. Can short, workshop-type modules be organized, focused on a single skill (e.g. Email Writing)?
Absolutely. In addition to extensive courses, we develop intensive programs and targeted workshops, with a duration between 20 and 30 hours, specialized in concrete business skills. These modules are designed to provide a rapid impact on employees' daily activities, addressing specific topics such as:
Effective Email Writing: Structuring professional correspondence;
Successful Presentations: Persuasive delivery techniques and language
Strategic Negotiations: The vocabulary and tactics needed in negotiations;
Procurement & Purchasing: Specialized language for purchasing departments.
12. What platform do you use for online courses and what is the minimum equipment required?
Our online courses are held on stable and established platforms, such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, providing an interactive and secure learning environment. For an optimal experience, participants need minimal equipment:
Device: Laptop, PC or tablet (we recommend avoiding mobile phones to optimally view shared materials);
Connection: Stable internet access;
Accessory: Headset with microphone and working webcam (video interaction is essential for our communicative method).
Note for companies: We can also deliver the courses on the platform agreed by your organization, depending on internal security protocols.
13. Are online meetings recorded for later viewing?
For reasons of privacy, data protection (GDPR) and to ensure a relaxed and interactive learning environment, our live sessions are not recorded. The International House method is based on active participation and real-time dialogue between students, elements that cannot be replicated by simply watching a recording. In the event that a participant is absent, they will receive the necessary course support and individual study instructions from the teacher, ensuring that they remain up to date with the material covered.
14. Do you provide assistance in linguistic testing and auditing of employees before the project starts?
Yes, we offer a complete language audit process to ensure that each employee is correctly placed in a group corresponding to their actual level. The assessment is carried out in two rigorous stages:
Written testing: We evaluate grammatical skills, vocabulary, and written message reception skills.
Oral testing: An individual interview with one of our teachers to assess fluency, pronunciation, and spontaneous interaction ability.
Following this process, the HR department receives a centralized situation of the levels in the company, according to the European grid (CEFR), facilitating strategic planning of courses.
