Learning English has never been more convenient than with IH’s virtual school.
The IH virtual school is open to both companies and the general public.
As training budgets tighten, IH allows our corporate clients to enroll employees on English programs that will not disrupt shift patterns. Quite simply, the benefits are enormous.
There is now no need to arrange gate passes for teachers, organize shift cover, or leave sections undermanned as employees attend English courses in order to qualify for promotion. Why? Because IH Saudi Arabia offers companies the opportunity to learn English with a native speaker instructor at the click of a mouse.
IH’s live group classes bring the immersive experience of collaborative learning with an instructor and fellow students right to you at any time from 7.30am to 9pm – six days a week.
Whether it’s staff located at remote locations, or offshore workers on oil platforms, IH’s virtual school means that distance is no longer a barrier.
Our expert instructors motivate, guide, and empower learners from the moment the class goes live to create real world situations and a genuine need to communicate.

Although the training itself is mostly online, there is a hugely important direct contact component so that IH’s blended approach puts the employees first.
There is therefore an orientation session where instructors can meet employees to explain goals in person while helping learners to adjust to online classes. This will enable employees to use only English in their live online classes so that they achieve their objectives much faster.
Obviously, online learning is sometimes a challenge at first and where issues related to age, motivation, or technical aptitude are identified – IH offers full support so that candidates can adapt, while traditional face-to-face classes remain a primary option.
For those companies in Jubail and Yanbu, IH’s local instructors are on hand for any further support while all online programs are subject to ongoing quality control from our business office in Dhahran.
Attendance and progress reports are key parts of the online learning management system where they are customized to the requirements of each company.
IH offers online courses in Technical English, Business English, General English and specialist ESP programs related to energy industries, refineries, power and utilities, banking, hospitals, and the government sector amongst many other ESP options. IH also offers online short courses in Technical Report Writing, Meetings, Negotiating, and Emailing.
No matter how good the technology – the teachers have to be even better.
All IH teachers are highly trained, experienced, and fully familiar with the Saudi learning environment.
That’s why our online corporate training programs are delivered by instructors who normally work in Saudi industry delivering face-to-face English language programs to employees around the Kingdom. These instructors understand the importance of managing learning, motivating employees, and ensuring that company time is maximized.
Equally, for Young Learners, IH Saudi Arabia has a database of international lady instructors who are recommended for the delivery of online lessons for Ages 7-11 and for all female students regardless of age. Parents can select a lady instructor based on rates per hour, or nationality. Our database also includes hundreds of male and female native speaker teachers based in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. who are ideal for private tuition, exam preparation classes including TOEFL & IELTS, conversation classes, or General English.
