English for PAs

Your PA acts as your gatekeeper, purchaser, negotiator and diary secretary.  He or she puts together your presentations, enters into diplomatic discussions with your peers, customers and suppliers, and has to deal with delicate interpersonal situations on your behalf.  You need that person to do this as well in English as they do in their native language.  We can help.

For the first time, we are offering a one-week intensive English course specifically customised to the needs of today's PA in international business.  Designed in partnership with former Canning participants who work as PAs in multinational firms, it draws on our 44 years of experience providing English training to the world's business people, but allows those who attend to recreate and rehearse exactly the situations they meet in day-to-day life.

So, you reward your PA by sending him or her to Canning in London for a week, for a high quality course.  In return, your PA returns with improved English, and the confidence to handle any situation for you with the same confidence as they would in their own language.  A win-win result for everyone.
