Corporate Subscriptions FAQs

 

If you cannot find an answer to your question below concerning corporate subscriptions, please contact us via the Contact Us page. Just follow the link at the top of the page.

  • What is a corporate subscription to the E-Platform and how long does it run for?

    With a corporate subscription, all staff locally or regionally can access the E-Platform anywhere, anytime.


    Some companies decide to pay for a fixed number of users instead.


    Corporate subscriptions run for 1 year and need to be renewed annually.


    We offer companies a number of subscription options to meet their specific needs and we'd be happy to discuss this with you.

  • How can our company subscribe to the E-Platform?

    The E-Platform is available by annual corporate subscription.


    We will contact you and supply you with information about the E-Platform including a sample proposal.


    To see a sample proposal please click on either of these two links: WETE Proposal (pdf format)  or WETE Proposal (pps slide show)


    A face-to-face or online meeting is then arranged to demonstrate the E-Platform and answer any questions you may have.


    If the product is deemed suitable to your company, we will send you a usage agreement to sign and return. When we have received your signed usage agreement, we will send you an invoice for payment.


    Finally, you will then be issued with a username and password and User Guides for you to distribute to your staff.


    Staff will use username and password on the 1st login screen. Then each staff can choose their own username and password to set up a sub-account. We can track usage of all sub-accounts.

  • Can we get a Free Corporate Trial to the E-Platform?

    We encourage companies to take a free trial of the E-Platform, so they can thoroughly test it and ensure that it meets the learning needs of their staff.

     

    If you are interested in a free trial, please contact us. One of our representatives will then call you to discuss your trial. 

  • Which staff would benefit from using the E-Platform?

    The E-Platform is designed for adult learners who have an English language level between elementary and upper-intermediate, and who need to use English at work.


    All exercises are graded
    according to the ALTE methodology https://www.alte.org/


    The E-Platform works particularly well for learners who are dedicated and self-motivated in self-improvement.


    The E-Platform is an invaluable resource for staff
    that require English for specific purposes on demand, or for those who want to supplement existing business English training programs.


    The E-Platform will benefit
    managers and executives, in particular, who spend a lot of time proofing and correcting documents. Managers can use the E-Platform to develop their staffs writing competency.

  • Why should we choose the E-Platform?

    Here are a number of reasons why:

     

    • Value Innovation - Fixed cost for 12-months access to the Learning Centre. The E-Platform is a unique product considerably less expensive per head than any other online language training
    • Integration - The E-Platform compliments classroom-based training resulting in blended learning solutions
    • Flexibility - Users learn at their own pace and convenience – language, skills and techniques can be studied and revised as often as required until it’s understood
    • Consistency - All exercises follow a consistent methodology and interface to promote user-friendliness and familiarity
    • Geographical Coverage - Simultaneous learning locally, regionally, globally
    • Content - High levels of interactivity through audio, video, simulations & animations. Content focused on workplace English
    • Community Forum – Promotes user to user knowledge sharing.
  • What are the benefits of taking a Corporate Subscription to the E-Platform?

    Although the E-Platform may not have all the bells and whistles that certain competitors offer, the quantity and quality of our learning content as well as the delivery of interactive exercises through the Clarity authoring system, are equal to or better than our main competitors. These are the main benefits:

    • High quality learning content with consistent methodology
    • Delivery of interactive exercises through Clarity.
    • User-defined learning paths based on student level allowing step-by-step progression
    • Continuous learning while traditional online course come to an end
    • Regular content updates
    • Email newsletter updates
    • User evaluation
    • Usage statistics on request
    • Company-wide training across different locations
    • Low cost training

    Most competitors charge per user, meaning that training large numbers of staff can be very expensive. The E-Platform provides continuous training to ALL staff within a given location or locations at a fraction of the cost
