Business English for Executives and Professionals courses are designed for business executives and professionals with specific language requirements, who only have a limited amount of time available. Students are asked to complete a needs analysis before starting the course, enabling teachers to assess your particular language requirements and to formulate a program tailored to your needs. Your progress is constantly monitored, and your course adapted to meet your needs and priorities.
For students who work in a specific industry we can offer specialist courses. These courses can be combined with General English and/or Business English as well as being taken by themselves.
Throughout the course, we ask for your opinion, and you are able to work with your teacher to design your course. At the end of your course, you will receive a certificate for presentation to employers. All executive students also receive a written evaluation of their progress.
You can combine Business English with General English. Topics covered in Executive Buisness English courses include remedial work on pronunciation, accent reduction, vocabulary building and writing skills, specific to your profession.
You can also study:
- Telephone skills
- Negotiating
- Interviewing techniques
- Conferences and meetings
- Presentations
- Reading and discussing business publications
- Business writing: memos, letters, reports
