Command Spanish® e-Training programs are Web-based Spanish language training courses that students can take whenever and wherever they want, because they are asynchronous and non-instructor-led. These programs were designed to be efficient, effective, and not teacher-bound. Moreover, the student takes the course at his/her convenience and pace, not the institution's convenience and pace.

With Command Spanish® e-Training Programs, you can: 

  • promote better communication in the work environment;
  • increase safety in the workplace;
  • enhance workers' job performance;
  • decrease or remove communication barriers;
  • receive cost-effective instruction without leaving your house; and
  • provide better service to persons in the Hispanic community.

Command Spanish® online courses are designed to be efficient, reliable, and effective. These are one-of-a-kind programs. For many, the convenience and benefits of e-Training are too good to pass up.

Command Spanish® e-Training programs are:

  • Self-Paced (You, not an educational institution, decides at what pace you will take the course.)
  • Asynchronous (You can start the course on any day, at any hour.)
  • Non-Teacher-Led (You are not dependent on the availability of a teacher.)
  • Based on Adult Education Principles
  • Economical (You save gas and time by not commuting to and from class.)

Each Command Spanish® e-Training program includes important cross-cultural information and tips relevant to the specific occupation or profession that is being targeted. These cross-cultural capsules are designed to eliminate or reduce misunderstandings in the workplace.

Available Command Spanish® Courses: 

  • Spanish for Hospital Nurses
  • Spanish for Retail Sales
  • Spanish for School Teachers
