Reporting directly to our Group Managing Director, the SMT includes the Heads of Department responsible for FCO and Government Accounts, Corporate Accounts, Finance and International Operations.

Our Account Managers are each responsible for a specific group of languages at the FCO, liaising with students every step of the way and managing the groups of teachers dedicated to each language.

Our very experienced team of Client Managers are responsible for providing a single point of contact and a customised service for each of our corporate clients.

Removing the administrative burden from our clients' busy L&D teams, our experienced administrators support our Account Managers, and provide the careful course monitoring and follow-up that is an essential part of effective language training management.

Finance, HR and IT are provided for PLS by a dedicated team of professionals who deal with everything from invoicing and customer reporting to building and maintaining a VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) for our major clients.

PLS has sole responsibility for running the FCO’s Language Centre in Westminster. Our experienced staff are on site every day to ensure the smooth running of this high-stakes training centre.

PLS employs a permanent team of specialists responsible for each of the major languages we teach at the FCO. Our Assistant Directors of Studies are responsible for leading teams in Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.

Our International Managers supervise and administer our major overseas projects, sharing best-practice and liaising with our Head Office in London.
