English Support for International Business
'Closed' courses
The business function or group selects participants. Courses are usually held twice per year and are based around business meetings, work-based discussions and presentations. Language feedback and targeted input designed to help participants develop their communication in English is provided by the trainer(s) during and after the course.
These meetings/courses are an excellent opportunity for small groups of colleagues from the same or different locations to spend time together - they learn the English they need for their work and build deeper working relationships. A tailored course for a global team of managers would be an example of this type of training.

Examples of these courses may include training in everyday technical English (speaking and writing), for designers, IT personnel. Human Resources, PAs/Secretaries and specific courses for Advanced users of English.
