Founded in 1975, International Council is the Adiuva group's school dedicated to language training for companies and professionals: Italian courses for international professionals, corporate training in 16 languages, executive coaching and preparation for the admission tests of leading universities and business schools.
For over 50 years we have helped companies and professionals achieve concrete goals through personalized language programs. Lessons are always taught by qualified teachers and supported by an online platform that lets participants practice between one lesson and the next. HR managers can follow course progress through a single reserved area.
