We offer a unique Business English course for young people. This course is excellent if you want to work in an English Speaking environment in the future. It will give you all the language skills necessary. We think it’s very important in a non-native English speakers educational development to study business English. We understand the goal of taking lessons is to communicate with representatives from other companies as English is the lingua franca of business.

The classes concentrate on the business English language skills necessary to work in an English speaking environment. The course includes useful commercial vocabulary, relevant speaking skills (telephone language, negotiating, giving presentations, contributing to meetings, socialising with clients etc.) and help with writing letters and reports. It also covers cross cultural issues and work related issues.

This course is an ideal starting point for people wanting to use commercial business English for work. This is ideal for young people who dream of working for an international company and will therefore need Business English.
