Individual traning in English

Mikael Engvall is an operations manager at Svenska Kraftnät, and, with business associates from all over Europe, English is in constant need. He has received one-on-one training in English from Mindset.

- Historically I have been bad at English, and the level I had didn’t work in my present role, with just about daily international contact.

The training was tailored to Michael’s needs and workday; course material was layered with work documents, books, and topical newspaper and internet articles around which to build a dialogue.

- It was good with different types of learning material; it made the training varied and, thus, always interesting. We went through, among other things, the annual report and the presentation of it.

- The trainer was incredibly committed and that made me motivated and enthusiastic. It was tough training, but incredibly fun and instructive. It was demanding in a positive way; I have never learned so much English.

Michael says that after the training he has a more solid foundation and that he feels calmer and more professional when he has to speak English.

- In situations where I have to speak English, I do it without problems. I have raised my level and have an entirely new self-confidence. Moreover, I have gained an understanding of English as a language and can keep up with discussions in a completely new way.

- Mindset and the trainer were tremendously flexible. If something came up in the schedule, then we shifted things around so it fit better – it was flexible.
