Canning welcomes Nations clients

Thanks for coming here to find out more about us. Nations have pointed you in our direction because they and we believe that we can offer the same thing they did for you - really good English immersion training for you and your people. We help people to communicate better and we’d love to do that for you.

We’ve been doing this for a long time, since 1965. A lot of that has been in London, but we also travel around the world delivering training for our clients. We work with all kinds of people in all kinds of sectors from finance to engineering, from technology to consumer goods.

Immersion training

There’s no better way to improve your English than throwing yourself into it - spending days and weeks improving the English that will help you to communicate better in your job. Just like Nations, we’re not generalists; we specialise in English for Business. So you won’t be improving just for the sake of it. You’ll be improving so you can use English to do things better: present with more impact, express your ideas more fluently, handle tough discussions more sensitively and more.

You’ll do that all at our training centre in the heart of London. We’re in a beautiful building right next to the British Museum. And you’ll work with our team of trainers, who have all spent years helping people to do things better in English.

We keep saying London, and of course that’s a bit different to Cork! But you still get to immerse yourself in a world of English. We structure our courses a bit differently too. You can have a look at our info pack for 2025 here, but you can also talk to us about what you need.

One to one

Something we share with Nations is a belief in the value of one to one training. If you have something specific you need to work on or you just want to make as much progress as possible, you can’t do better than the intensity and focus of individual attention. You can do one to one training any time, or you can combine it with group training.

Communication skills

Maybe the English language isn’t the biggest issue for you. English for Business is actually only part of what we do. We also run communication skills training, here in London and around the world. Maybe you want to make more engaging pitches, or negotiate better deals. Take a look at the rest of our communication skills training to find out more.
