Business Language Programs: A Professional’s Guide

Spanish Explorer lists business Spanish for professionals working with Spanish-speaking companies and corporate training for teams in Singapore. To ask for a team quote, send the number of learners, what they need to do in Spanish, their starting levels and the times they can attend. Ask whether the school can train at your office, at its campus or online.

Ask about corporate Spanish training. Choose Corporate Training for a company group or Spanish Business Course for individual work-related needs.

Public group, private lessons or a team course?

Public group lessons
Use the published timetable if your main goal is everyday Spanish and you can attend a scheduled class. Ask which level fits if you have studied Spanish before.
Private lessons
Discuss one-to-one lessons if one person needs to practise specific calls, meetings or written messages. Ask what the quote covers.
Corporate training
Request a separate team quote if several people need to practise similar work tasks or follow a shared timetable. Ask how the provider would handle mixed starting levels and staff who miss sessions.

Choose a work task before choosing the course

Start with two or three situations your team actually faces. A buyer might need to confirm a delivery date, a hotel receptionist might need to explain check-in, and a salesperson might need to introduce a product. The right practice depends on the role, where the team works and how much Spanish each person already knows.

Example practice task. In a supplier call, ask whether the order can arrive on Friday, clarify the quantity and repeat back the agreed date. Try ¿Pueden entregar el pedido el viernes? (Can you deliver the order on Friday?) and ¿Puede confirmar la cantidad? (Can you confirm the quantity?). Finish by writing a short confirmation email. This is an example for a training brief, not the school's set curriculum.

Copy this brief when asking for a quote

  • Team and roles: How many learners are there, and what do they do?
  • Starting point: Are they new to Spanish, returning to it or already using it at work?
  • Work tasks: List two situations they need to handle and the markets or colleagues involved.
  • Availability: Give a preferred start date, workable times and any shift or travel constraints.
  • Venue: Say whether your office, the school or an online option would suit the team.
  • Feedback: Ask what the teacher or coordinator could report on, such as attendance or how learners handled an agreed practice task.

Ask the provider to confirm the total quote, session length and count, materials, change and cancellation terms and any feedback included. Share fictional or anonymised examples in the brief if your work materials contain client details.

Questions about business Spanish training

Can a complete beginner start with workplace Spanish?

Yes, a beginner can practise simple work situations such as greeting a caller or confirming a date. Tell the school what the learner needs to do and ask whether a general foundation or a private plan makes more sense.

How long does it take to handle a work task in Spanish?

It depends on the task, starting level and practice between lessons. Agree a first milestone you can observe, such as confirming a delivery date during a role-play, then ask how the provider would plan practice for it.

Does the published group course fee apply to a company team?

Use the timetable fee when comparing public group batches. Ask Spanish Explorer for a separate team quote based on your group and brief.

Compare published Spanish course formats or send a team brief to Spanish Explorer.
