BUSINESS ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSES FOR YOUR CAREER
A business English course should have a clear goal
Do you want to improve your language skills at work efficiently and purposefully? This works best in an environment where both the teachers and your fellow students are pursuing the same goal. It is not just about job-specific vocabulary but about classic situations that cause problems in everyday working life. These include, for example, negotiations with international business partners or customers, formal email correspondence in English, presentations in meetings or small talk on the phone before a conference call.
In a business English language course, exactly these scenarios are practised in small groups so that you can use business English confidently and in a relaxed way in negotiations. We advise you on choosing a school and can recommend the best intensive English courses in London, as well as more affordable schools of equal quality outside the English capital. From crash courses for career starters to advanced special courses for managers and executives, we offer you many ways to perfect your English.
The make-up of the courses is what counts
As a rule, a business English language course includes general language training in which the basics of the language are practised. Classic mistakes that have crept in over the years are corrected, speaking and listening skills are trained and written English is improved. After all, to speak business English fluently and confidently in negotiations, you need general English skills as a foundation.
In the business courses, you practise business-specific content, from contract negotiations and English telephone etiquette to business letters. Our special courses also cover job-specific content - for example in an English course for lawyers or engineers.
Sometimes it also makes sense to book part of the lessons as one-to-one training. Here you can work quickly, effectively and face-to-face with your personal teacher, so the content can be tailored even more individually.
The English course for a successful working life
There are suitable language schools for every career stage, whether you are a trainee, an employee or a managing director. The prices of a language course also vary widely, depending on the location of the language school and the intensity of the course. Our experience shows that recommendable language courses are offered in all price categories. Especially for young professionals and career starters, there are more affordable courses in which job interviews in English and writing a CV in English can also be practised. All our schools have been externally inspected and accredited by the British Council and therefore offer a high standard of quality in all areas, from facilities to teaching staff.
