Student portalThis course is suitable for professionals who would like to improve their English communication skills.
The direction of the course will be determined as a group with your trainer and adapted as needed as the course progresses, to ensure all goals are met. Topic examples include: language skills for effective presentations, negotiations or meetings, and language for marketing, sales, HR, management, leadership, and medical. You can choose any topic relevant to you with your trainer and group.
This course is suitable for elementary level (A2 – C1). You will be placed in a group with people of a similar language level. Find out more about English language levels.
The executive group courses are kept small, a maximum of 6 participants, so the trainer can focus on everyone’s goals.
You will be placed in a group with people of a similar language level (we will send you a language test to complete ahead of the course) and everyone in the group will be a professional, so you can share your experiences and learn from each other too.
On the first day, participants will discuss their needs together with the trainer who will build a course programme which focuses on the needs of the group. There will be skills others would like to focus on that would benefit you too and you can increase your knowledge of how other companies and sectors approach tasks relevant to you.
Although topics will be related to professional life, general grammar and everyday life topics will be integrated into the course to help you communicate with people in a working and non-working environment. This will be useful for building rapport with your colleagues and customers.
Throughout the course, individuals will also improve effectiveness skills such as confidence, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, resilience, creative thinking and innovation.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Communicate more effectively in a professional environment
- Feel more confident in the chosen areas focused on during the course
- Have increased vocabulary in topics related to your professional working life.
