What do you mean by "soft option"? Cheaper, maybe, but as cost of living and wages are different, then that could be the factor influencing training fees.

Do they not make PAs in both English and German? Making sure your employees can interact with your expected customers seems like a no-brainer to me. It may be biased, but as there is a reason for this requirement, it makes sense.
