skillkit is an experienced developer and deliverer of essential language courses. Our earliest ventures were in online learning and we pioneered internet-based language-curriculum delivery years ahead of organisations such as the BBC.

Our skillkitOnline course has now been studied by over 10,000 students.

Eventually, we bowed to student demand and started running face-to-face evening classes, led by young and aspirational native speakers, to compliment their online learning. These sessions took on a life of their own and skillkit now operates relaxed and highly sociable evening classes all over the North West as skillkitPM.

Our latest offering, skillkitCorporate, is again a response to listening to our students. Evening class regulars told us that they wanted to spend time learning a language at work and helped us to sell courses to their employers.

The students were delighted; the employers were too and so skillkitCorporate was born.

skillkitCorporate creates the sociability and confidence-building atmosphere of a language evening class in the workplace.

Our informal lunchtime sessions are held at your premises, making it easy and cost effective to introduce language learning in to the working day.
