Yappi Corporate English Language School Chain

What Yappi Corporate English Language School Chain does

Yappi Corporate is a Kyiv-headquartered corporate English language training school operating since 2005 (per company history; firmographic data shows 2006) as the corporate-focused brand within the broader Green Forest School Network of Ukrainian English schools. The company specializes exclusively in delivering English language training to Ukrainian and international businesses, positioning itself as the only dedicated corporate English school in Ukraine, with a reported 500+ corporate clients across 5 countries and a 100,000+ student network. Its customer base spans IT, manufacturing/consumer goods, aviation, F&B, government, healthcare/NGO, and military sectors, with named multinational accounts including Boeing, Ferrero, Henkel Ukraine, Innovecs, and PNN Soft.

The core technology stack is built around yCloud, a proprietary learning management ecosystem that provides HR managers with attendance tracking, financial reporting, student progress monitoring, and lesson scheduling; yBook, a CEFR-aligned interactive digital textbook updated weekly with current events; and Smarte+, a digital trainer for supplementary practice. Course delivery occurs through two channels — offline in-office training at client premises and online via the yCloud platform — both bundled with free weekly Speaking Clubs. The Yappi Talent Centre serves as an in-house teacher factory staffed by CELTA and DELTA certified trainers, providing methodological, psychological, and corporate training to standardize instructor quality.

The business model is B2B sales-led, with an enterprise field sales team targeting HR departments and company management to customize curriculum to industry-specific vocabulary (IT, Agro, Digital Marketing, Trade, Aviation, Medical English). Revenue is generated through recurring per-lesson subscriptions (pay-as-you-go billing) across group courses (2–8 people, ~62 lessons per level) and individual programs, with pricing tiers ranging from 1,375 UAH/lesson for online group courses to 2,755 UAH/lesson for YAPPI PROFESSIONAL individual programs. The company operates as a private, founder/owner-managed entity with no disclosed external investment, and is represented by Hrybenyuk Svitlana Borysivna (EDRPOU 37771525). No public revenue figures are disclosed.
