About Us

Whether driven by the desire to improve your:

• Personal business communication skills;
• Effectiveness within your organisation;
• Social interaction skills,

you will find that we are ready to assist you to reach your English language goals.

Bright Spark! Technology Limited was formed in 1999, as a specialist training consultancy, providing advanced English language training services to senior management in European-based organisations.

Bright Spark! Technology differs from other English language training organisations in the market.  We focus specifically on providing English business language skills and training on a case-by-case consultancy basis to candidates with exacting requirements. We combine the development of advanced language skills and business skills by focusing on the particular needs of the client in relation to their specific industry.

Our training takes the form of small group training sessions for both Communication and Presentation Skills, cross-cultural business skills courses and one-to-one tailored intensive language training for "high-flyer" candidates.  We also provide location-based training for candidates who visit London as part of an overall English immersion experience.

For candidates with special business needs, such as Law, we have delivered local programmes to meet their needs (including their legal discipline and associated activities, such as visits to the Royal Courts of Justice). Training can also be provided to prepare candidates for formal examinations such as the Cambridge ILEC (International Legal English Certificate).

We have worked with companies in the Legal, Engineering, Manufacturing and Financial Services sectors.

Training can be delivered either in London or on-site at your corporate location.
