We receive students from all over Europe and we organise for them work placements in different vocational areas and learning outcomes assessment following the European Credit Transfer System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) procedure. 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 searching and monitoring according to the trainees CVs, their previous professional experience and their language skills. We provide definition of Memorandum of Understanding and learning agreement, assessment of learning outcomes and training counselling following the ECVET procedure. Organisation of Professional Visits and Seminars We organise Professional Visits and Seminars for teachers, trainers and people employed in the training environment. Welfare, Tutoring and Follow Up We welcome all our participants by providing them with a Welcome KIT on arrival, organizing a Welcome Meeting and City Tour on the first day and we guarantee 24/7 personal and professional support, thanks to our specialised staff. We organise first day introductions to work placement companies and fortnightly monitoring meetings with participants, to ensure that the whole experience is continually monitoring and assessed. The whole experience is assessed through special tools: Participant Handbook, Company Handbook and Skills Portfolio. We also provide Europass Mobility Certification and Final Reporting concerning the whole experience. English Language Course Language courses are taught by teachers specialised 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 an increasing capacity to express himself and communicate in the foreign language from the beginning of the course. Training Vision is a Trinity College London Examination Centre. Accommodation Participants are usually accommodated in selected host families, fully equipped and comfortable flats shared with other beneficiaries, and hotels. short stay programmes). erq xo T

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