What actually makes a language programme work
Written for the people who have to run and defend a training budget — programme design, measurement, and the failure modes we see most often.
What we write about
Measuring a programme
Which numbers actually justify a renewal, and why hours delivered is the weakest of them.
Why attendance collapses
The scheduling and manager-buy-in failures that kill programmes in week five, and what prevents them.
Designing for an objective
Building backwards from what has to be true at the end, rather than forwards from a textbook.
Procurement and rollout
Practical notes on pilots, data handling, access control and getting a programme through legal.

The short version
If you only take one thing from this section: decide what has to be true at the end of the term before you buy anything, and make sure it is something you can measure without asking learners how they feel. Almost every programme that gets cancelled was never able to answer what it changed.
Planning a programme?
The resource centre has the templates we use to scope one, free and without a form to fill in.
