Do I have to be a fluent English Speaker to benefit from Word Power presentation skills or interview skills training?

Fluency is not a requirement but all our training sessions are delivered entirely in English. Coming to us with a minimum B2 level or Cambridge First Certificate will help you get the most out of our training and progress more rapidly as a presenter or interviewee in English. 

Will my English improve by training with Word Power?

Absolutely! Shaun is a UK qualified teacher with years of experience teaching and training in Barcelona and London.  We always approach training with a TEFL focus when our clients are English second language speakers. Though our courses are designed to develop your strengths as a presenter or interviewee they will also improve your level of spoken and written English. 

Can I benefit from Word Power presentation skills training or interview skills training if I’m a native speaker of English?

Definitely. Our courses and individual training sessions are all about improving your presentation skills or interview skills. If you are a native or fluent English speaker your Word Power training will focus entirely on developing you as a presenter or interviewee, exactly the same as if we were working with you in London, New York or Sydney.

Does Word Power only provide presentation skills or interview skills training in Barcelona?

No, not at all. Word Power is based in Barcelona but will travel to you wherever you are in the world. We have trained people in Spain, France and the UK. 

Public speaking or being interviewed in English makes me very nervous. Will Word Power training help me overcome my fear of presenting in a second language?

Yes, without doubt. The issues of overcoming nerves or the fear of speaking English in public are raised in almost every enquiry we receive. We will build your confidence and calm your nerves in two ways. Firstly, by ensuring you are presenting in grammatically perfect English and secondly, by teaching you proven pre-event routines and exercises that will calm your nerves and keep you focused.

Do you offer in-house or in-company training (Professional INSET)?

Yes we do. We’d like you to think of us as a company resource. Our in-company training is perfect for companies or organisations in Barcelona or further afield that would like a number of staff trained at the same time. We come to you and deliver the course of your choice or a customised course to groups of your employees. 

Are you able to customise a course and make it specific to my organisation?

Yes we can modify any of our existing training options to include new course content specifically requested by you or we can also deliver a bespoke course tailor made to your own personal requirements. 

What about after the course? What kind of support will I get?

Word Power training is an ongoing process. After you complete one of our courses we provide on line mentoring for all clients. Contact us for advice and support any time. We hope that your course is the beginning of your relationship with us and we can work together, one to one, in Barcelona or elsewhere developing and perfecting your future English presentation projects. 

Can Word Power help me with other aspects of professional English?

Yes. We can help you with English script writing,  proof reading and correction, school and University applications in English, Personal statements in English,  C.V. in English and Spanish-English translations.
