Business English

About this course

Use English with confidence wherever your work takes you. This practical course covers the situations professionals meet every day: meetings, presentations, negotiations and written communication with colleagues and clients.

You will practise chairing and contributing to meetings, structuring presentations, describing trends, negotiating terms and writing clear emails, reports and proposals.
