Florence - Italian for international companies in Tuscany.

CORPORATE ITALIAN TRAINING · SINCE 2008

Florence - Italian for international companies in Tuscany.

Florence is where international capital meets Italian craftsmanship. Family offices, luxury maisons, private banking branches, foundation administrators, art market professionals: the economic profile of the city is distinctive, and so are the Italian needs of the executives we train here.

In Florence we deliver courses at clients' premises across the historic centre, in Sesto Fiorentino, in Scandicci or in Prato, or at our Padri Scolopi campus on Via Bolognese, a seventeenth-century institutional venue that international companies have used for closed-door corporate intensives since 2008.

The sectors we serve in Florence

Luxury and fashion maisons. Tuscan maisons, leather goods and accessories companies, atelier executives. Italian for creative direction, coordinating the supply chain with Italian artisans, leading retail and the cultural register the sector requires. Family offices and private banking. Family office executives, wealth management advisers, art market specialists. Confidential, premium programmes built around demanding executive schedules, with full confidentiality and discretion. Cultural institutions and foundations. International staff of Tuscan foundations, museums, art conservation institutes.

Corporate Italian - single executive or group

Single executive · 1:1. For the relocating CFO, the international partner, the senior manager settling into Italy. Dedicated Business Specialist, bespoke programme (Business · Finance · Banking · HR · Law · Tech · Negotiation), on-site or online. This is NOT the same as our generic individual course: here we are talking about scoping, reporting and confidentiality at corporate level. Request a proposal → Team / group. For HR and L&D managers training groups of several employees. Same model with a Business Specialist, scaled across teams: small groups by level, reporting with executive summaries, certification, a single multi-site invoice. Common formats: small weekly groups, intensive workshops, blended on-site and online. Request a proposal →

Note: if you are an individual looking for general Italian lessons or lessons in the cultural field (Art, Cooking, Opera, university test preparation), see our individual 1:1 courses. The corporate side goes through this page.

The Business Specialist model

Every campus has a dedicated Business Specialist: a single point of contact who defines the programme, coordinates logistics, manages quality control and reports to your HR or training manager. One partner. One contract. One line of communication. Multi-site delivery across Milan, Florence, Mantua and Turin runs within a consistent framework: this way a multinational with offices in three Italian cities receives the same training quality, the same reporting and the same single invoice.

Where we deliver

Four Italian cities, four corporate-grade venues. Same Business Specialist framework, same reporting, same single invoice, delivered at your premises, online or at our Accademia. Each venue offers private executive classrooms, meeting rooms equipped with audio-video systems, a professional reception and the quality of address your HR director wants to see on a proposal.
