Berlitz Luxembourg

What Berlitz Luxembourg does

Berlitz Luxembourg is a regional operating entity of Berlitz Corporation, the global language training brand founded in 1878. Operating from Luxembourg City, the entity delivers language and intercultural training across 40+ languages to two primary segments: private individual learners and corporate/business clients. The product portfolio is anchored on the proprietary Berlitz Method — an immersive, conversational-first instructional methodology that emphasizes speaking confidence in real-world business scenarios — and is delivered through three channels: in-person instruction at the Luxembourg facility, live instructor-led online courses, and a regional e-commerce shop (shop.benelux.berlitz.com). Supporting sub-products include group evening classes (French and Luxembourgish), an online placement test, business seminars, and formal language testing and assessment services.

The business model is hybrid subscription/professional-services. Individuals purchase courses through the e-commerce shop on a per-course or recurring basis; corporate clients are acquired through direct-sales outreach (phone, contact forms) with customized programs priced at €50–199, €200–499, or €500+ tiers based on scope. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining a website with language-specific landing pages, active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and bottom-of-funnel phone conversion. The local entity operates as a franchise/master-license under Berlitz Corporation, giving it access to the parent's global brand (50K+ companies worldwide), methodology, and curriculum, while distributing services within the Luxembourg market (Western Europe). No revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed for the Luxembourg entity.
