#1 for Quality

The Square Mile guarantees satisfaction. Each year we train more than 2000 business professionals and every step of our process is focused on delivering the highest quality training possible. Our own satisfaction surveys consistently return an average score of 8.7 across more than 23,000 participants. Our external, independent CEDEO surveys have returned scores of between 96 and 99.7 for the last 18 years in a row.

150 hand-picked language trainers

A language training programme from The Square Mile is a joint venture between you and your language trainer. They get to know your working environment and combine their training skills with your professional experience to create the perfect programme.

Each language trainer is hand-picked from our pool of experienced freelancers, taking your needs, participant profiles and sector into account. The trainers working with your business exchange information and ideas, ensuring that the knowledge they build is shared and recyled to your benefit. All the trainers we work with are multi-lingual professional trainers and many have a business background.

160 training locations (and counting)

The Square Mile provides in-company language training throughout the Netherlands. In the last 2 years alone we have trained at more than 160 sites in and around Amsterdam, Breda, Den Bosch, Den Haag, Eindhoven, Groningen,  Rotterdam, Tilburg Utrecht and Zwolle.  Whether for 1 person or 300, we are happy to provide training at your location, saving time, increasing convenience and offering more opportunity for hands-on training. Since March 2020 50% of our courses take place online via MS Teams of Zoom.

Your score of 8.7 is work in progress

We ask our participants to evaluate every course twice, allowing us to incorporate your feedback into the programme. Our systems collate these evaluations to provide us with ongoing information per client on the most effective trainers, methods, logistical set-up and much more. Over the years, more than 20000 participants have provided us with detailed information, allowing us to focus on improving our quality language training where and when required. The result? An average of 8.7 on a total satisfaction score based on 20,000 results. Satisfaction guaranteed!

99,3% customer satisfaction

When selecting a language training company, quality is always high up the list of criteria. But how do you define quality? Easy - just ask our customers.

The Square Mile does everything possible to guarantee satisfaction. Every 2 years we ask CEDEO to audit our services independently to confirm what you think. The results? A rating consistently above 99% for the last 14 years. We're still working on the last 1%! If you'd like to find out more, please download here the research report.

Independent since 2002 

The Square Mile was founded in 2002 by Richard Brame, who saw a need for a professional, in-company language provider in the Netherlands. Richard is still director and the company provides stability and growth in a market where many of the established names have experienced financial difficulties in recent years.

Richard's philosophy? Recruit the best people, value them and let them do their work.
