Language improvement for external companies and organisations
We also offer bespoke language improvement courses for external companies, agencies and organisations who are keen for their staff to develop their confidence when using Welsh at work. These courses are based on our programme of open courses but can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a client. We are able to deliver these courses at our purpose-built teaching room here at Canolfan Bedwyr or on-site.
We try to keep the classes small so that we can cater for each individual’s needs. The maximum per class is usually 12.
