As a 'closed group' you enjoy the same advantages as in private tuition. This course format allows you to cover special fields of the language although you are in a group course. Likewise, you may learn a less frequently taught language in a group.

in-company course

Explanation:
It seems to be regional, Chilean usage, as I have found the term in mostly Chilean websites.

In the link https://www.maceotec.cl/wp/cursos-abiertos/ it says:

"Cursos Cerrados

Es importante resaltar que todos los cursos que se realizan en modalidad abierta, pueden ser impartidos en modalidad cerrada, si el cliente así lo desea se desarrolla la malla especifica dedicada a las exigencias de los clientes.

La formación de los cursos in-company o cerrados se pueden realizar en las instalaciones del cliente o en alguna sede..."

In the link https://www.duoc.cl/educacioncontinua/empresas/capacitacion-... it says:

"Cursos Cerrados

Son programas de capacitación, Cursos y/ o Diplomados impartidos especialmente a grupos de personas pertenecientes a una Empresa u Organización.

Se adaptan a las necesidades de formación y ejecución de acuerdo al rubro o industria a la que pertenezca cada Empresa.

Se adaptan a la Empresa, ya sea por volumen de trabajadores, especificaciones académicas, o incorporación conocimientos técnicos y administrativos de cada negocio."

The term "in-company courses" seems to fit the above descriptions, and it looks like it's most often used. See the below links:

https://www.bsigroup.com/en-CA/Our-services/Training-courses...
https://www.professionalacademy.com/in-company-training
https://www.brighton.ac.uk/business-services/professional-de...

I would translate your original line as follows:

"In-company refresher course on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)"

(Note: curso de actualización is a refresher course.)

neutral

Francois Boye: in-company is not the English for ' actualización'

3 hrs

-> Hi Francois, please see the last two lines of my post. A curso de actualización is a refresher course, but the original term queried is curso cerrado.

agree

Taña Dalglish: Agree. This can work //Francois: there is such a thing as interpreting the text; there is no need to be literal and one learns in the translation business that literal is "not necessarily a good thing". Michael regards.

6 hrs

-> Much obliged, Taña!

agree

Robert Carter: Well researched, Michael, I had an inkling it might mean something like this.

1 day 21 hrs

-> Thanks, Robert! I think "in-company course" is the way to go, as it relates specifically to a corporate environment; it's a "closed group course" just for a particular company's employees. David's option can work too, but for me it's more non-corporate.

agree

Elisa Ksiazenicki: Agree!!

closed refresher course

Explanation:
Importance of Refresher Training

Increases the self-confidence and morale of the employees. Keeping the staff updated with the latest trends. Bridging the gap between the old and new skills. Increasing the pool of talent for an organization.

I'd like to suggest the following instead of the example sentence above:
'Private refresher course on international methods of financial information'

Example sentence(s):

Curso cerrado de actualización de Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera
Course closed by updating from Internacional Methods of Financial Information
