	placement testing: using the TARGET system (based on the Common European Framefork) extensive classes: during normal office hours. e.g. a regular 2 hour session per week at all levels. workshops: with selected personnel on particular aspects of work. e.g. meetings, negotiations, presentations, letter-writing. These workshops can be of varying duration, from 1 hour to a full day. They may be regular or ad hoc. On-the-job training: this is practical training in English communication during working time. The trainer responds to individual requests for assistance in letter-writing, proof reading, preparing presentations and designing their accompanying transparencies, preparing and making telephone calls etc. The trainer may also be asked to attend meetings and negotiations as a silent observer to give subsequent feedback. Building materials: which are client-specific and based on situations that participants typically encounter at work.

The priorities for the training are determined by the Department Head(s), and it is then the trainer’s responsibility to translate these specifications into a program which takes into account the particular features of the client’s situation.

An extensive range of material and equipment are placed at the trainer’s disposal. Offices, training rooms, and intranet/internet access are provided.

While it is the trainer’s primary task to establish and maintain a close working relationship with local management, they are also expected to liaise closely with TARGET's training and management teams.
