All teachers are native English speakers or near native English speakers and are carefully selected based on their practical industry experience. Having experienced professionals as instructors is seen as critical by Sara Beattie College as the sharing of real-life examples and experiences is invaluable when teaching Trainees.

As a Trainee, you will apply for an internship with a participating company. Designed for you to experience real life situations, you will go through the application process and practice your new skills in a business setting. Past participating firms have included: Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Hong Kong Seibu Enterprise, Cubiks, New World Renaissance Hotel and the Marco Polo Hotel.

Regular field trips give you insight into numerous office situations. You will have the chance to compare how different companies work, meet professionals in different industries and develop your goals based on this exposure. Field trips have recently been diverse organisations such as TNT, Pine Technologies and the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel.

Business leaders and other professionals are invited to speak to Sara Beattie's Trainees about their experiences, how to succeed in today's business world or how to grow as individuals. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and learn from top professionals with experience and knowledge in a variety of industries. Past speakers have included: Hampton, Winter & Glynn, Security Systems, The Equal Opportunities Commission, McKinsey & Co and the ICAC.

Over at least two weeks, Trainees have the chance to experience working for a charity. This exposure to non-profit organisations is also intended to emphasize the importance of social responsibility in the work place. Charities include: Greenpeace, Orbis, Red Cross, Mother's Choice and Helping Hand.

A rare opportunity to interact with a prominent business executive or manager, who will takes a personal interest in your training and career development, and offer advice, share experiences and suggest internship opportunities.
