Development of training and learning concepts
Based on a customised needs analysis, we develop individual learning concepts that are optimally geared to the needs and application areas of the participants. Through suitable learning media and proper training records, we shape the content of the training to be more relevant to career situations thus ensuring a successful transfer of skills into everyday working life.
Our qualification provision is based on a 7-step model, whose quality is continually optimised:
- determination of requirements,
- target group analysis,
- defining of (learning) targets,
- development of concepts,
- development of learning media and documents,
- testing of concepts and
- implementation and success monitoring.
For the protection of the learning process both the configuration of the learning environment as well as the involvement of the working environment in the implementation of what has been learned are considered. The quality of the training is ensured through meaningful evaluation standards.
This is done by means of regular feedback questionnaires and participant reports and by evaluating the achievement of targets.

Branch-specific language courses
Every branch has its own specialist vocabulary and technical terms. Targeted industry-specific learning is more and more in demand, which goes beyond merely learning special vocabulary. It’s about the typical way to form sentences, how to reason and the structuring of thoughts. Lawyers speak in a different way compared to doctors, and pilots differently compared to scientists. These particularities in language continue right up to the language of individual companies. Corporate identity is always expressed through language as well.
One of the strengths of KERN Training is not only to create individual curricula for foreign language learning in companies, but also to develop learning material based on customer requirements. This ensures that the required specialist learning material is available to reach their learning goal, especially if a very specific industry is involved. In this case, customer learning material will be prepared by pedagogical experts and adapted precisely to their language learning goal so that anyone can gain the linguistic skills they need for their job and their company wants them to obtain. The clear and practical learning folders are adapted to the training programme in terms of scope and content.
KERN LearnApp
Also included as part of your digital course material is the interactive KERN LearnApp. This is available in both English and German. You can comfortably develop your language knowledge at all times!
Additional online learning help
As a supplement to the learning folders, glossaries or terminology databases as well as additional technical language exercises can also be provided in an individual customer area of our website to directly support classroom training.
Corporate wording: Use of company-specific terminology
We offer you the opportunity to incorporate your company's corporate wording into you language training – ensuring your employees are able to use your in-house terminology consistently and confidently in foreign languages, too. We can work with you to define this corporate wording and integrate it both as part of our KERN ClientApp™ solution or provide it to our trainers as a terminology database. Company-specific and industry-specific terms are clearly integrated in close collaboration with the organisation, and incorporated into the training along with the course materials and other authentic materials.
Our qualified trainers adapt the course content to the subject-specific terminology, including in verbal exercises, and encourage your employees to use it with confidence.
