Talk to an advisor
I moved to Calgary for an engineering role in the energy sector. My technical English was fine but I struggled in meetings and presentations with senior leadership. Berlitz focused on exactly those situations. Ten weeks in I was running project updates with confidence. Six months later I was promoted to team lead.

Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes in Calgary. We work with professionals in oil & gas, finance, healthcare, and technology who need English for meetings, presentations, negotiations, and client communication. Every session is tailored to your industry, your role, and the specific situations where English holds you back today. Available in-person at our 2nd Street centre, online, or at your workplace.
Yes. For federal and provincial government employees who need to demonstrate English proficiency, we offer targeted SLE preparation — covering oral proficiency, written expression, and reading comprehension at levels A, B, and C, following PSC guidelines. Available in-person at our downtown Calgary centre or live online from anywhere in Alberta.
With our intensive programme (30–45 hours per week), most students reach working A2 in 3–4 weeks and conversational B1 within 8–10 weeks. With evening classes (approx. 4 h/week), A2 typically takes 10–12 weeks and B1 around 20–25 weeks. Private one-to-one sessions can cut these timelines significantly. Your advisor will give you a realistic timeline based on your starting level and goals.
100% free and with no commitment. A Berlitz advisor — a real person, not a chatbot — will contact you within 1 business day. In a 20-minute call, they'll discuss your English goals, your current level, your schedule, and your timeline. They'll recommend the right format, pace, and programme. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.
Possibly. Berlitz Calgary is a recognised training provider and many employers — particularly in energy, finance, and professional services — include language training in their professional development budgets. Your advisor can help you understand which options apply to your situation and how to approach your employer about covering the cost.
