Portfolio Our services range from German language courses to intercultural coaching, translation, multilingual copywriting and professional interpreting services. These five departments work closely together and interconnect for the benefit of the client. We have first-hand knowledge of the needs, expectations and problems which can go along with living and working in Germany and have assisted many foreign employees settling into German and international companies. Therefore, our intercultural coaching sessions place their emphasis foremost on practical advice with relevance to day-to-day life and work. We know the challenges when translating highly technical and/or specialised text for international markets and how to find solutions which are perfect for our clients customers and their respective markets. Language coaching German for foreign language managers Our language courses for corporate clients evolved from a 20-year involvement with teaching German as a foreign language and many suggestions, queries and ideas from our students. We focus on the needs of the students and their schedule and individual capabilities. We use advanced coaching techniques such as online coaching to suit the busy schedules of our customers and follow-up programmes with audios CDs and other media tailored to the needs of each student. Beginners and advanced learners alike find the programme to meet their needs at SKS, whether it is a grammar course, conversation training/oral practice or German for business. We run our courses in small groups or one-to-one sessions, during business hours or on weekends, at our school or at your office. Everyone will find the ideal coach in our team of 10 experienced language professionals Intercultural Training Seminars for executives In one- or two-day seminars, we introduce foreign managers to German culture and instil our knowledge of Germany. Our programmes are all individually designed after consultation with the client company and each seminar member. With SKS, you can trust in an experienced partner who helps your employee with practical tips and gives him or her a concise overview of his/her new work environment. So far, we have offered intercultural seminars in Berlin, Nuremberg, Erlangen, Herzogenaurach, Munich, Mülheim a.d. Ruhr, Braunschweig, Regensburg and Wetzlar. We can be anywhere you need us. Translations Accurate, on-time, excellent translations Our clients value nothing more than accurate translations which read like original documents. Therefore we only employ translation experts who have a proven track record and professional accreditation. They cover all language combinations and specialist subject fields. Be it a technical manual, business presentation or a certified translation - we have a translator to suit your needs. To help clients build terminology databases and ensure consistency we also use computer aided translation (CAT) software. And to give you final peace of mind, all our translations are proofread by a second qualified mother-tongue linguist and overseen by a project manager. We will work to your layout specifications in all common DTP formats. For the easy transfer of large files we offer secure FTP and HTTP facilities. For an obligation-free quote on your translation needs, please email translate@sks-europe.com. Multilingual Copywriting Resounding, readable text that gets results Rather than translating existing content, it is sometimes better to start from scratch with concepts and content tailored to the market. We have specialist marketing writers in all languages (including English!) who can help create web content, a press release or advertising copy to your detailed brief. We also offer a full speechwriting service in all languages. It's far too easy to fall flat on your face when making a presentation. Inappropriate humour, long-winded statistical information and a confusing structure can make a speech torture for you and your audience. We'll help you with an amusing, memorable presentation that gets your main points across - without putting your audience to sleep. Interpreting Professional interpreters and voice-over specialists in all languages (worldwide) Whether you are entertaining an overseas business contact, welcoming a tour group or completing a foreign-language contract, an interpreter can make the difference between success and failure. Our worldwide interpreters are accredited and experienced. They are available at your chosen site to interpret for one-on-one discussions, small group meetings or large conferences. We also offer expert voice-over services for your professional audio or video production. Another simple and cost-effective way to communicate with business partners overseas is with an interpreter-assisted conference call. The call can be run over traditional phone lines or using voice-over-Internet technology. Make sure your company is remembered for all the right reasons - not for communication hiccups that leave all parties red-faced!
