MHC Clients

Henkel and MHC Business Language Training have been working closely together since 2004, on both foreign language training and presentation skills coaching. More than 600 staff have been trained in over 400 language courses at the Henkel sites in Vienna (regional head quarters for Central and Eastern Europe) and Bratislava (shared service centre for Central and Eastern Europe).

MHC’s training programme in the CEE is focused primarily on English, German, Polish, Russian, Hungarian, Slovakian and Croatian, but also on Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. In the professional specialties, their strengths include finance, technology, law, marketing, sales, and distribution. MHC has become a truly valued training partner for Henkel.

Henkel CEE has been working together with MHC Business Language Training for many years in a very intense and very successful manner. Due to their professionalism and flexibility, Mark Heather and his team are the right partners for our staff. Classes are organized in a target-group-specific and individual way, while considering Henkel's needs. The positive feedback our staff give confirms their high appreciation of the in-company training we offer.

I have had a reliable partner for internal language training in MHC Business Language Training for years. I appreciate Mark Heather's personal commitment, the flexibility of MHC's trainers, and their ability to adapt the course content to the participants’ training needs. Working with MHC is always highly professional, client-oriented, and trouble-free.

In numerous language courses, our flight attendants were prepared for their daily work on board by the MHC trainers, particularly in the areas of fluency, intercultural communication and  business English. Participants very much appreciated that these courses were meticulously tailor-made for the daily needs of the Cabin Crew. The participants have enthusiastically applied what they learned in their daily work.

The business English lessons our department (Investor Relations) received from MHC Business Language Training were always characterized by a deep understanding of our specific situation and needs. Just simply, tailor-made training! Due to the variety of expertise and experience served by MHC, we were also able to learn from a wide-range of examples of applications from other areas beyond investor relations. This resulted in a valuable learning development for which we are grateful.

Learning a language has proven to be more difficult than I had thought. The materials were very helpful and extremely comprehensive; there was a good atmosphere, there were no distractions; it was always possible to find a parking space in front of the entrance.
My trainer, Katja, understood excellently how to be considerate and to respond to my needs. She had planned the lessons so that I wouldn’t be overtaxed – which must happen easily with this language – even after a hard day’s work. She was professional, able to explain the grammar very clearly…all in all, it was terrific fun to learn with her.  I would also like to add that the organisation provided by Mr. Mark Heather was very professional. Quite simply, it was great service and the trainer was superb!!!

Dear Mark,

As I do every autumn before a new language course begins, in recent days I have gone through the evaluation of and test results from last year’s courses with the HR department. After seeing the outcome of the 2012/13 courses, I consider this a good opportunity to thank you for the achievements of our collaboration in recent years.

Since deciding to use MHC as our preferred partner for language courses, we have already booked roughly 100 courses (both individual and in groups) with them and have consequently provided training courses for nearly 500 of our colleagues in 10 different languages.

Our internal assessments show that we achieve the best results with MHC; this is clear from both our colleagues’ evaluations and their test results. As a consequence, MHC has gone from being one of our partners to becoming our most important partner for language training over the course of the past years.

I would like to thank you in particular for the excellent quality of the language trainers. The number of training courses that you provide for us has grown considerably – far beyond the amount that we had expected when we first started working together – and we are always particularly surprised at your ability to constantly find new, high-quality trainers for our courses.

Providing services for all European branches of Henkel from Lisbon to Moscow, our Shared Service Centre has rapidly expanded from c. 330 employees 2.5 years ago to over 1,000 members of staff today. It is especially in this regard that the language courses from MHC have contributed significantly to our success: the same degree of success would simply not have been possible without MHC’s linguistically top-qualified trainers.

As a result of experiencing the quality of your services in Vienna, I am delighted that we were able to become one of your first business partners in Slovakia when you opened a branch of your company in Bratislava a few years ago, and I am also delighted to be able to further increase our close cooperation with you there.

We still have lots of plans in the field of Shared Services in Bratislava and will continue to need a reliable partner for training courses in even more languages than we already provide today.
