Take part in the weekly team meeting in Spanish for at least 10 minutes.
Instead of: "Improve their Spanish."
Quarterly Programme · Lima, Peru & online
Twelve weeks, a written plan and progress HR can see.
A one-to-one programme for employees with a clear goal: 24 hours of lessons built around their real job, with a document at every stage so the company knows exactly where things stand.
How it works
Same structure for everyone. Content built for each person.
Every employee gets the same documents, calendar and 1 to 5 scale, so progress is comparable across your team. Objectives, topics, vocabulary and materials are written for their job.
01
Placement test · week 0
45 to 60 minutes before the first lesson, not counted in the 24 hours: conversation, listening, reading, writing, and grammar and vocabulary. Each skill is scored from 1 to 5, with an estimated CEFR level.
02
Learning plan · week 1
The outline of the programme: starting and target level, 3 to 4 measurable objectives, topics in four 3-week blocks, resources, activities and homework.
03
Lessons · weeks 1 to 12
Two 1-hour lessons a week, or the same 24 hours in 1.5-hour lessons. Online, at the office or at the employee's home, built around their real job.
04
Mid-programme report · week 6
Attendance, punctuality and participation, scores at the start and now, progress on each objective, strengths, areas to strengthen and any changes to the plan.
05
Final test and report · week 12
Same structure as the placement test, so before and after can be compared directly. Each objective is marked achieved or in progress, with a recommended next step.
Measurable objectives
Goals written as things they'll be able to do.
Every plan has 3 to 4 objectives you can observe at work, and the final report marks each one as achieved or in progress. Some examples:
Explain what happened in a project or incident using past tenses.
Instead of: "Learn the past tense."
Make and answer a call to a supplier to coordinate a delivery.
Instead of: "Talk to suppliers."
Adapted to your sector
The four blocks follow the employee's real work.
In 24 hours, the realistic goal is about half a CEFR level, or the same level with much more fluency. Better to promise less and exceed it.
01
Diplomacy
Protocol, official meetings, events, press and current Peruvian affairs.
02
Healthcare & NGOs
Consultations with patients, symptoms, community work and coordination with local teams.
03
Mining & industry
Safety, shifts, instructions, field reports and dealing with contractors.
04
Executives & sales
Presentations, negotiation, business lunches and client calls.
05
Recently arrived staff
Daily life, paperwork, housing, health and Peruvian workplace culture. See also Landing in Lima.
Quarterly Programme FAQ
Questions HR teams ask.
If yours isn't here, send it on WhatsApp.
Is the placement test included?
Yes, at no extra cost, and it does not count towards the 24 hours. The final test does count, as part of the programme.
Who receives each document?
The placement results and the learning plan go to the employee and the company. The mid-programme and final reports go to the company, with a copy to the employee. The statement of completion goes to the employee.
How much progress can we expect?
In 24 hours, the realistic goal is about half a CEFR level (for example, from A2 to A2+, or from A2+ to B1), or the same level with much more fluency and confidence.
How is payment handled?
Payment is made in advance and you receive an official Peruvian electronic receipt (recibo por honorarios electrónico). You can pay 50% at the start and 50% in week 6, together with the mid-programme report.
What happens if an employee cancels?
Lessons cancelled at least 24 hours in advance are rescheduled. Later cancellations count as a used lesson.
Is the statement of completion an official DELE certificate?
No. It states the hours completed and the level reached according to the teacher's assessment, based on the CEFR. We also prepare students for the official DELE exam.
Can several employees take it at the same time?
Yes. Each employee has their own one-to-one programme and plan, with the same documents, calendar and 1 to 5 scale, so HR can compare progress across the team.
What comes after the 12 weeks?
The final report recommends a next step: usually a second Quarterly Programme to reach the next level, or a shared hour bank to keep progress going.
