Registration procedure
You give us a list of the interested employees (including telephone number and email address) for whom you wish to finance a language course. We prepare the registration of the participants.
Group assignment and assessment process
academia contacts all interested employees with regard to a placement test and determination of availability. A reminder is also sent to all those who do not reply within the specified period. academia corrects all placement tests. In case of group registrations our course management team sets up suitable groups based on the assessment results.
academia organises the dates and times of the lessons that can be realised by all members of the group. To do this, our course management team requires a lead time of about one week after approval of the group assignment details.
Invitation to course
academia sends a course invitation containing all relevant details about the language lessons to all participants in the course.
