Polish course for foreign employees – built around the job, with a report for HR

Why companies teach their employees Polish

Companies teach employees Polish because the language barrier is the problem most often reported when hiring foreigners. In a 2026 Personnel Service survey, 27% of employers named it.

In practice, the lack of a shared language shows up in everyday situations: an employee nods without having understood an instruction, does not report a fault because they do not know how to say it, and every HR matter has to be translated by a colleague. A course will not replace good management, but it shortens the road from "I don't understand" to working independently.

What the cooperation includes

This is how the cooperation works – from the audit to the invoice:

Forms of learning for a team

We choose the form of learning to match the number of people, their level and their goal – in one company we often combine several.

• Groups of up to 6 people – employees at a similar level, with shared vocabulary for the job.
• Individual lessons – for a foreman, a shift manager or a specialist who needs Polish faster or in a different scope than the rest of the team.
• Language onboarding – a study plan for the first 90 days of a new person's work – see how language onboarding works.
• Business Polish – meetings, emails and presentations for office staff and service centres.

Language of explanations: teachers explain grammar in Polish, English, Russian or Spanish. With each level, more and more of the class is conducted entirely in Polish.

A programme tailored to the industry

The course programme is based on the vocabulary and situations of a specific industry, not on textbook dialogues set in a café. A warehouse worker learns locations and quantities, a machine operator – how to report a breakdown, a driver – how to talk during loading. We have collected examples for six industries in our overview of vocabulary by industry, and you will find ready-made programmes among our Polish at work courses.

Getting started in four steps

Getting started takes four steps – the company does not need to install anything.

1. Enquiry – send the form below and briefly describe the team: the number of people, job roles, shift system.
2. Conversation about goals – we establish what the employees are meant to learn and at what times they can study.
3. Audit – employees take a test, and you receive a summary and a proposal for groups.
4. Start of lessons – we set the date of the first classes after the audit, to fit the team's schedule.
