This is what participants have said about the course:
"English is the lingua franca of international business. However it is not enough to merely master grammar and vocabulary in order to communicate effectively. The ICE programme includes the knowledge and the skills which are really essential for effective communication."
Jörn Hardenbicker - Deputy Managing Director, Carl-Duisberg Centren
"The ICE train-the-trainer workshop introduces you to great, bite-size and ready-to-apply material on all sorts of intercultural aspects. On top of that attending the workshop was extremely enjoyable."
Prof. Dr. Sylvana Krauße - Hochschule Aschaffenburg - University of Applied Sciences
"I see the ICE concept as an important element of foreign language preparation for the international business world. The ICE training material is founded on study and research, includes the testing of intercultural language competence, is directly applicable and attractive in appearance. I have also used it in my in-company courses in Business English."
Rose Zeller-Hofer M.A. –Language Training Instructor University of Applied Sciences Gießen-Friedberg, Certificate of Teaching International English for Business
“For me the most exciting thing about this approach is that it focuses on situations typical for international cooperation. Its great advantage – besides the use of English – is that it equips participants with a great deal of intercultural knowledge and practical abilities, so that intercultural training sessions for specific countries can be much more effective. As a trainer whose focus is China, I can wholeheartedly recommend this course.”
Dr. Dagmar Zissler-Guertler Chine Sign - Stuttgart
"This course is about overcoming critical situations to save business relationships. Who wants to gamble with insulting a potential business partner? All things remaining equal (e.g. competence, terms of contract), people make decisions based on a gut feeling or whether they like you or not. This course is about 20% theory and 80% what you can actively "say" and "do" to prevent a critical incident or recover from one."
Thomas Sauer - sauerlanguage intercultural coaching- Munich
"This course gives a comprehensive overview of what "intercultural communicative competence" means, as well as how it can be taught and tested. The teaching materials can stand on their own as a fully realized program, but they can also easily be integrated into an extensive English/Business English course. I would strongly recommend the ICE train-the-trainer course to any serious professional in the field of English or Business English training."
Jeffrey Park - Freelance trainer Munich
"This course is an inspiring and original approach to intercultural communicative training and testing and highly recommendable for anyone intending to include intercultural competence in their course programme."
