I agree with Richard.  Sounds as if you're trying to weed out 
someone who's not up to the job.  If someone's grammar is not 
what it should be, then that person's supervisor/manager should 
be discussing this problem directly with the person in question. 

OTOH, I think it is always great to make it possible for 
employees to gain additional training, whether at a 
university/college or other training facility.  

Just my opinion,
Peg
