Professional development, not a language exam

Understand how you really communicate in English.

The Communication Performance Diagnostic looks beyond grammar. In one guided session with a consultant, you'll discover your communication strengths — and leave with a clear, personal plan to grow.

“As a non-native English speaker from the Netherlands, I was impressed by how comprehensive and detailed the conclusions were — and by the practical suggestions for improving my weaker points: my grammar, being more precise in expressing myself, and my public speaking.”

“On the whole it was a great experience. I learned a lot, and it will surely help me in my future career.”

“The guys at NTCD were very relaxed and professional. I got some really useful tips to help me improve my spoken English and I now have a clear understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend this to anyone trying to climb the career ladder.”

What is the CPD?

A clearer picture of your communication

Most tests give you a score. The CPD gives you insight. It measures how you communicate — your fluency, clarity, confidence and the way you handle real conversations — then shows you exactly where to focus next.

◎

Beyond a score

We look at how you express ideas, handle pressure and connect with a listener — the things that matter in real professional life.

✦

Personal insight

Your Communication & Learning Profile explains why you communicate the way you do, so improvement finally makes sense.
