English training for your team

OTO aims to bridge the gap between traditional learning and what the labour market needs. We train company teams through group classes and corporate programmes, and run government programmes such as DEPI, starting from a measured level: the OTO English Assessment.

The OTO English Assessment

Six sections (grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, writing and speaking) in about 85 minutes, scored by AI against CEFR descriptors. Each person gets a level from A1 to C2, with an OTO sub-level.

  • A report for HR on every person, with the number of courses they need to reach their role's target level.
  • Certificates with a QR code that anyone can check on a public verification page.
  • Focus and full-screen checks while the test runs.

Questions before you start

What happens in a session?

A live, one-to-one online lesson with your teacher, 50 to 60 minutes long. Afterwards you get the recording and your teacher's notes.

How do I choose my times?

You book the hours that suit you. Sessions start on the hour, between 8 am and midnight Cairo time, and are booked at least 24 hours ahead.

Can I start with a single hour?

Yes. One hour with a teacher on the course you are interested in, before you buy a package. Its price depends on the course; you will find it on the course page.

How do packages work?

Choose 8, 16, 24 or 32 hours; each hour is one session. You can freeze a package once, for up to 30 days, and its expiry date moves out by the days it was frozen.

What if I miss a session or need to move it?

Cancel or reschedule at least 8 hours before the session and the hour stays in your package, up to twice per level. A later cancellation, or arriving more than 20 minutes late, uses the hour.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, on the conditions in our terms. If you have not booked any session within 14 days of buying a package, you can ask for a full refund; after that, refunds cover the unused value less a 10% fee. Read the terms

Do I need to know my level first?

No. The 25-minute placement test shows you which level to start at, so you can pick the right course. Take the placement test

Can you train my company's team?

Yes. We run group classes and corporate programmes, and test teams with the OTO English Assessment. See company training
