Quality Management / Control: What are its advantages?
Being versed in one or more foreign languages is a prerequisite for many companies these days. The question of how the quality of language learning and training is defined, often has many different answers since different industries and activities call for different requirements and specifications. Is it even possible to apply an objective and comprehensive quality control? What is considered qualitative and how can it be measured? Does the market currently offer suitable tools to measure quality? How suitable for example are written tests and certificates to determine verbal communication skills and competencies? This panel discussion is dedicated to address these important questions. Participants are invited to debate with continuing education specialists from leading companies and with training experts about with which means the foreign language requirements can be ensured. Panelists: Christiane Maria Loosen, E.ON AG Winfried Albrink, Henkel KGaA Holger Creutzburg, ETS Europe James Schofield, Siemens Session language will be German |
