Adult English for
multilingual workplace teams
Leap, powered by FlashAcademy®, helps employers support multilingual teams with flexible adult English learning. Assess English proficiency, deliver personalised, industry-specific learning and track progress through one complete workplace ESOL solution.
Why workplace English matters now
Multilingual teams are now the backbone of UK workplaces. When language gets in the way, the cost is significant: safety incidents, slower onboarding, lower engagement and good people who leave before they reach their potential.
The 2021 Census found that 880,000 people in England and Wales could not speak English well.
General English apps were never designed for the realities of work, so the language your people need most — on the floor, on shift or in a briefing — is the language they have never been taught. Leap exists to close that gap.
How Leap works in four simple steps
Leap assesses speaking, listening, reading and writing consistently across every employee, giving you an accurate, comparable picture of where each person starts.
Every employee gets their own pathway — mobile-first learning matched to their level, role and sector. It fits around shifts and busy lives; short sessions feel achievable and keep people motivated.
Leap builds the language people use in real workplace situations every day, so confidence grows exactly where it counts:
- Health and safety — procedures, risk awareness and compliance language
- Onboarding and induction — helping new starters settle in faster from day one
- Customer and team communication — everyday conversations and stronger relationships
- Operational instructions — the day-to-day terminology for faster onboarding
Track engagement, progress and outcomes through real-time dashboards, and share clear reports with HR, L&D and senior stakeholders.
