"The Berlitz Experience: Starting with Berlitz marked my life. As my husband says, 'before Berlitz I had a wife and a life'. "In fact it has been a rich and extremely challenging and rewarding experience: both professionally as well as financially. Of course, it requires lots of planning, dedication and hard work. Believing in the Berlitz Method® and in the system is a big step towards success. "We have always been under the impression that a franchisor sets the agreement terms, guides the franchisee during the first period and then leaves him to swim or sink. "With Berlitz it has been different: as of day one, we have been guided step by step through every single new activity. We have had enough preparation and training to enable us to be functional during the first period. Regular follow-up calls, trainings and visits are there to remind you that you have a very solid support system that you can really rely on. "Not only do we want to maintain the quality we promise to deliver but we feel very proud to be associated with the Berlitz name. Our brief Berlitz history is a testimonial to our satisfaction and commitment. In 1998, Berlitz UAE started the first center in Abu Dhabi. At present we have: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Beirut and soon Qatar and Oman."
