Corporate services
ALA does official document translations and corporate document translations. ALA's staff can also act as interpreters, with an ability not just to translate words, but also to read body language and nuances, especially critical in commercial negotiations. We can provide specialist interpreters for conferences, legal cases, business negotiations and personal situations, including family meetings.
Cross cultural services
We have extensive experience in the area of cross cultural training. In recent times, we have offered country briefings and programmes on managing cultural diversity or other culture-related matters. We specialise in helping New Zealanders bridge the gap with people from other cultures. We are able to provide effective training in business protocols and specific business language skills, a necessity for those dealing with people from non-English-speaking backgrounds.
Language assessment services
We have unique expertise and extensive experience in assessing the language ability and cultural understanding of employees. Our experience in assisting businesses with the recruitment of multilingual candidates will help you to fill positions which require a knowledge of languages other than English.
