用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun (training, course, workshop, programme). Contrasts with open courses, where people from different companies attend together. Do not confuse with the prepositional phrase 'in company', written without a hyphen, which means 'with other people'.

常見錯誤

❌The course is in-company.
✅It is an in-company course.
💡'in-company' goes before a noun; it does not follow a linking verb like 'be'.
❌Lakshmi went to the meeting in-company.
✅Lakshmi went to the meeting in company with two colleagues.
💡without a hyphen and before a noun, 'in company' is a separate prepositional phrase meaning 'with other people'.
