Three places to invest in yourself
A new language, a broader business perspective or simply a good reason to try something different.
You never really finish learning. And why would you want to?
A diploma needn’t be the end of your education. Whether you want to sharpen your professional skills,
find a new hobby or venture beyond the familiar,
there are plenty of ways to get started. These three places approach personal development differently, from language and culture to practical skills for the next stage of your working life.
For ten years, La Scuola has worked by the motto “Language is the path to your dreams”. Founded by Gyuler Ahmedova, a philologist and sworn translator working with Italian and Turkish, the school employs language specialists teaching both Bulgarians and international learners. Its courses cover Bulgarian, English, Turkish, Italian, German, Spanish and other languages, across all levels,
including preparation for language certificates.
Lessons are available in person or online, individually or in small groups, with flexible timetables. La Scuola also offers corporate training and translation services, and organises a careers forum in collaboration with Sofia University. Which language do your dreams speak?

What comes next when you are already good at what you do? Perhaps learning to think a few moves ahead. Telerik Academy’s mini MBA programme brings together experienced Bulgarian business leaders, real case studies and contemporary management tools. Over three months, participants develop their knowledge of strategy, marketing, finance and management,
and begin to see the wider business picture.
The programme also covers practical applications of AI across key business functions and processes. The next step is not always a new job title. Sometimes it is a different way of thinking.
French can begin with a first bonjour at three and lead all the way to an internationally recognised qualification or a new professional opportunity. The French Institute offers classes for children, teenagers and adults at every level, in person and online. Options include individual tuition, exam preparation and specialist workshops,
alongside activities for children aged one to three.
Students receive a year’s free membership of the media library and access to film screenings, cultural events and scientific talks. A language becomes much more interesting when it becomes part of your life.
