Central location and well connected: Isle of Wight: 2,5 km Southampton: 30 km Brighton: 80 km London: 130 km Oxford: 130km Bristol: 150 km Training Vision is a British company which is concerned with the planning and management of international mobility projects in several fields. We receive students coming from all over Europe and we organise for them work placements in different vocational areas. Training Vision also organises professional visits, seminars and socio-cultural programmes. Our mission is to provide quality training experiences in order to increase beneficiaries career prospects and personal prosperity. Portsmouth is the ideal place to do a British Experience, learning or improving a new language and getting new skills in the participant field of specialisation.

3 Services Organisation of Work Placements We provide Work Placements according to the trainees CVs, their previous professional experience and their language skills. Organisation of Professional Visits and Seminars We organise Professional Visits and Seminars for teachers, trainers and people employed in the training environment. Tutoring and Follow Up We guarantee 24 hour personal and professional support, thanks to our specialised staff. We organise fortnightly monitoring meetings with participants so that a continuous control of the whole experience is carried out. Both the Host Company tutor and the participant fill in initial and final evaluation questionnaires, analysing all aspects related to the programme. English Language Course Language courses are taught by teachers specialized in teaching English as a foreign language. The teaching method is based on communication. Students actively exercise the four fundamental functions of the language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Particular attention, however, is given to conversation, to develop in the student an increasing capacity to express himself and communicate in the foreign language from the beginning of the course. Accomodation Participants are usually accommodated in fully equipped and comfortable flats shared with other beneficiaries. Participants can be also accommodated in hotels and families (usually for short stay programmes). Halls of Residence are available in the summer. erqxt

The nearest airports are Southampton, London Gatwick and London Heathrow, but we can also offer other alternatives. Local Transports We provide participants with a weekly or monthly transport pass.
