Frequently asked questions
I work in Human Resources and my management wishes to train one of our teams in English for international trade. Is it possible?
Yes. Our training courses for companies are established totally according to your expectations. Our trainers, coming from the professional world, create the programme as a function of the area in which you want your teams to specialise. Moreover, you have the possibility of monitoring the progress of the learners thanks to an online reporting system.
I have just been transferred to Switzerland. I speak French well, but it is quite the opposite for my family, who are English speaking. Can you help my husband and my children?
We understand how difficult it can be to integrate into life in another country. This is why we offer French courses specially conceived for newcomers. Your family will learn the necessary vocabulary for daily life in Switzerland, and will be able to use it thanks to outings to a shopping centre, the post office, trips on public transport, etc.
I frequently travel for my work. Consequently I cannot be present systematically for my lessons. Do you have a solution such that I do not lose the thread of my training course?
In order to respond to this type of challenge we have created distance learning systems. You will contact your trainer by telephone or by Skype. At the same time, an e-learning platform allows you to compensate for your absences.
I would like my children to learn English. Are there specific courses available?
As for adults, children and adolescents can join our language training courses. Specially dedicated teachers take care of them. In addition, so as to combine a course and leisure, we offer special programmes which are both fun and original, such as cooking courses for young chefs, or introduction to sailing courses.
I am a student and I would like to prepare a language exam. Can you help me pass the exam?
Supercomm offers courses dedicated to the preparation of many exams : TOEIC, TOEFL, Goethe Institut, Alliance Française, BULATS, GMAT, Dante etc. Take advantage of our experience and give yourself the best chance.
In the framework of my professional activities, I need help in the preparation of a document in a foreign language. I would equally like to improve my accent. How can I do this?
Call upon the services of one of our language coaches. He or she will work sporadically with you for each one of your professional challenges.
Is a language training course expensive?
In our language training programmes, we believe that the return on investment of a language training course is measured in terms of the efficiency gain of the learner. More competitive, he or she represents an additional asset for the company.
I have worked for a long time abroad, in the industrial sector. Today I would like to recycle myself into language training. Are you recruiting new trainers ?
Supercomm is constantly looking for new profiles and recruits many trainers. Please do not hesitate to send us your application to .
Who will I be able to count on during the execution of my programme?
Normally the trainer who welcomes you during your first lesson will be your regular contact. If he or she is absent, we will advise you of the trainer who will replace your regular trainer.
Why do I have more than one trainer?
Because we want you to get used to different ways of speaking, you will deal with a number of teachers, coming from different regions or countries. At the end of each session, the trainer completes your pedagogical card, thus enabling all other teachers to be in possession of all information relating to the progress of your language programme.
How is my programme organised as a function of my schedule?
If necessary, you have the possibility of changing the timetable of your private lesson. You simply connect to the address http://iskra.supercomm.net/eolms/eolmsstud/admin.php and go to the page <<Modification of my timetable>> after typing in your user name and password.
One or several lessons per week?
A programme having 2 weekly lessons brings more convincing results than one having a single weekly lesson. Learning a new language calls for memorization, integration and regular practice of a large number of new concepts. Given that your short term memory will be erased after just 2-3 days, if your programme consists of a single weekly lesson, we strongly recommend you to organise a <<virtual session>>of practice/revision, 2 or 3 days afterwards at the latest. This will help you to memorize durably the new concepts. For the same reasons, avoid interruption of your programme.
Why no translation?
Because each language is different, construction of a new language by looking for points of reference in one’s own language, represents a waste of time and a bad reflex.
What is a « confidence level » ?
Supercomm has set up iskranet so you can inform yourself of your progress, lessons completed, etc.
How can I measure the progress achieved?
Supercomm has set up Iskranet so you can inform yourself of your progress, lessons completed, etc.
What do I do once my programme has finished?
It is desirable to maintain and develop your knowledge by daily practice and/or by means of our new methods SUPERCOMM 2D/3D, Business Lunch, Happy Hour or Talk Now. We also recommend that you watch television, films, read newspapers, magazines, watch cartoons in your new language. And above all, take every opportunity to speak, failing which your acquired skills will disappear little by little.
