NJR\u00a0 has a regular show which helps out young adults who are facing a difficult situation. A few\u00a0months ago, our school was contacted by the radio station about a young student called Deborah\u00a0 who was struggling financially after\u00a0 completing \u00a0a course at another language school and had then subsequently failed the crucial FCE exam \u00a0(the internationally recognised <a title=\"Studing FCE exam and preparation courses at LSI\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/courses-general.php#fce\" target=\"_blank\">Cambridge First Certificate of English<\/a>) that she needed to continue her studies abroad.<\/p>\n<p>NRJ asked LSI Zurich to step in to help Deborah. It was agreed that NRJ and LSI would share the costs of\u00a0 a new FCE course and exam, and after several weeks of studying at LSI under the expert tutelage of Mick Cavanagh, Deborah was successful at her second attempt. Ian Cryer, school director of LSI Zurich,\u00a0 felt it was a positive move all round . &#8220;As a result of helping this student out, we have received a lot of\u00a0 free\u00a0air-time \u00a0advertising at the radio station which is great, especially when you consider that the core audience for the radio station is exactly the same young adult\u00a0\u00a0market that \u00a0our courses are aimed at. We have been able to raise brand awareness about LSI promoting the wide variety of course we offer, whilst having\u00a0a great deal of fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--Have a listen to an extract of the show featuring LSI Marketing manager Stephan Lendi, the student Deborah and NRJ radio presenter Nick.--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LSI Zurich was recently approached by EnergyZurich ( NJR), the number radio station in Zurich, to help\u00a0provide a language course&nbsp;[&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[44],"class_list":["post-602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lsi-news","tag-lsi-zurich","post-item clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":609,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602\/revisions\/609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
