Executive courses FAQs
Can you organise special accommodation for me?
We offer you the choice of a superior standard host family, booked through the school, or hotel or studio accommodation, which you have to book yourself. Several good hotels near the school are able to offer reduced rates to clients from the Executive Centre.
Are there any exams I can do at the Executive Centre?
We can organise the London Chamber of Commerce exam in Spoken English for Industry and Commerce (SEFIC) with four weeks notice. In addition, clients can take the LCCI written exams (with six weeks' notice) and the TOEIC exam (every month except August).
Will I get any idea of my progress?
Teachers will regularly inform you of your progress. Soon after your arrival, you will begin to feel more confident using your English in the immediate environment of London. Reports on client's progress can be issued on request, and will usually be received around three weeks after the end of the course.
Do all your teachers have business experience?
Remember you are booking a course for business English, not business studies. We believe it is the teacher's ability to teach the language that is most important, not the fact that they know something about finance because he or she worked in a bank. Our teachers know a lot about the language used in business, and many of them have direct experience in business at every level. We also have teachers who are qualified lawyers.
Can I choose my teacher?
This is not usually possible, because timetabling of teachers is very complicated. However, if you decide to have one-to-one tuition, we will match you with the best teacher for your individual needs.
