Furthermore they will get insights in the procedures and business terminology of the UK. They should be able to compare the English business culture to the one they know from their training company in Germany. In addition the three-weeks-stay can show the students' skill to adapt to a different environment, their mobility and flexibility. Teaching lessons at the College of Central London will be hold by English teachers. In addition to roleplays company visits and exursions are planned.
