Berlitz, founded in 1878, provides language and cultural training in over 50 languages through immersive, classroom, online and hybrid instruction across 70+ countries.
Berlitz Corporation is a language and cultural training provider founded in 1878 by Maximilian D. Berlitz in Providence, Rhode Island. What began as a single language school has grown into a global operation spanning more than 70 countries and over 550 locations, staffed by thousands of instructors and serving millions of students. The company instructs adults, children and teens, corporations, and government agencies.
Its teaching is built on the Berlitz Method, a task-based technique centred on total language immersion, refined over more than 145 years, which is designed to have students speaking their new language from the first session. Instruction covers more than 50 languages and is delivered through three channels: in-person classes at language centres, online self-paced courses, and hybrid programmes that combine the two.
Alongside language courses, Berlitz runs cultural training programmes intended to help individuals and organisations communicate across languages and cultures. The company's stated approach combines its long-established methodology with modern digital learning platforms. It operates across several sectors, including education, language training, corporate training, cultural training, and government and public-sector work.
