Founded in 1987, LDS specializes in the design and implementation of communication programs for foreign born professionals. We’re committed to quality training that tangibly improves communication skills for English. Our individual, small group, midsize group, and seminar formats are in place for programs worldwide.
We augment our training solutions with a comprehensive catalog of materials authored by Lorna Sikorski. She continually updates content and media options to keep these products at the forefront. We also distribute robust and dynamic materials by other experienced authors.
Providing the best in professional education has been the mission of the LDS Trainer Center since 1987.
In 2003, LDS & Associates opened the LDS Online Trainer Center. This site offers trainer-the-trainer solutions worldwide in addition to our strategic instruction programs for individuals and corporations stateside and abroad. We unveiled the Preferred Trainer Program in 2005, to support professionals who complete our robust training. In Fall 2021, we expanded further with the start of our global Find a Trainer Member Program. Contact us for further information.
