They have experienced it. They bear witness to it.

Over 50 years of expertise. Thousands of participants trained every year. More effective international communication.

It was our first English camp. Three weeks later, we were speaking English all the time. Here, it’s mandatory — and that makes the difference. We expanded our vocabulary, gained real fluency and built confidence with students from around the world. Beyond the classroom, we enjoyed activities, excursions and friendships we’ll never forget.

Need:

Full immersion, real fluency, global friendships

Here, we speak Dutch... all day long. From breakfast to afternoon activities, you really live the language. It's fun, you feel well surrounded — and you make progress without even thinking about it.

Elia - 12 years old (Chaumont-Gistoux, Belgium)

Need:

I followed an intercultural training course at CERAN as a personal approach to better involve my teams in an ambitious project. The personalized coaching and the immersive approach allowed me to gain perspective, to open my eyes to multiculturalism and to integrate these learnings into my daily leadership. A structuring and concrete experience.

Develop intercultural leadership

Our training strategy is deployed internationally, taking into account the Group's global challenges and local specificities. Thanks to a structured network and adapted partners, we ensure a coherent and contextualized increase in skills. Innovation, especially via AI, reinforces the personalization and impact of our Learning & Development devices.

Need:

We structure our international training courses around a “glocal” model combining global coherence and local adaptation. This approach makes it possible to deploy strategic programs while taking into account the cultural realities of each zone. The result: committed employees who are able to optimize processes and sustainably improve the operational performance of the group.

Jean-Roch Houllier

Need:

Nearly forty years after my first French lessons, I decided to reappropriate this language to better collaborate with my French-speaking colleagues. My intensive stay at CERAN in Spa was decisive. Thanks to committed teachers and a caring group, I have progressed and regained confidence. And that is only the beginning.

Need:

Resume French with confidence

What I will remember most about CERAN is the people. The teachers, activity leaders and staff are incredibly kind and supportive. Beyond the classroom, we share moments, laugh together and build real friendships. It’s not just about learning a language — it’s about the relationships you create along the way.

Pedro - 11 years old

Need:

Learn languages, build real friendships

I chose CERAN after a family recommendation, and I’m so glad I came. The classes are fun and very different from school — we learn through activities, theatre and creative exercises. I’ve already expanded my vocabulary and discovered new expressions. After just a few days, I could already feel my English improving.

Pablo Arriola Sainz - 11 years old (Mexico)

Need:

Fun English immersion with real progress

I spent a week at CERAN to strengthen my French. An intense and extremely rewarding experience. The program is structured, demanding and personalized, with attentive support throughout the stay. I was able to consolidate my knowledge and gain fluency in speaking in a professional and stimulating environment.

CERAN learner

Need:

I was afraid to speak in public when I arrived. At CERAN, everything is focused on speaking out and real exchanges. We don't just do grammar: we discuss, we listen, we write, we live the language. I have really improved, and above all, gained confidence. Today, speaking English seems natural to me.

Laura D. - 20 years old (Louvain-la-Neuve)

Need:

Gain confidence when speaking

Our daughter already studies in Dutch immersion at school, but we wanted full immersion. At CERAN, she speaks Dutch all day, in class and beyond. That’s how confidence grows and fluency becomes natural. Beyond learning, she experienced a beautiful campus, new friendships and a life-changing environment.
