The company was set up in the English city of Bristol in 1987 - originally under the name Multilingua - with a service dedicated to training professional staff in languages. The merger with Lingua in the late 90s added considerable expertise in the field of professional translations.

Lingua has delivered corporate language training to multinational companies for 20 years and more. Clients such as Airbus, Orange and Total have enlisted our support for managers with international contact and for larger groups of employees keen to develop and practise conversation skills.

Our expertise is in delivering bespoke training at the highest standard for managers on tight schedules. We provide a fully managed learning service for HR teams.

Each learner has a unique set of interests and needs. And each company has its own development culture and training procedures. Lingua specialises in tailoring courses to meet the needs of individuals and companies.

In partnership with our clients we create company-specific language materials both as learning supports and stand-alone resources for self-study. These take the form of text resources, CDs, interactive CDRoms and DVD films.
