Perfect Your English for Work
Business English
What are the requirements to study Business English?
To benefit the most from this study we require students to at least have an intermediate level of the English language. If your English skills need a boost to reach this level, we recommend our General English Language classes.
Business English is especially developed for professionals in the corporate environment. The syllabus includes English letter writing, presentation skills, and negotiating techniques as well as vocabulary typically used in the business world.
It is currently estimated that ~270 million people around the world speak English as their first language and another ~898 million are using it as their second language. This makes English the number one spoken language in the world with about 1.268 billion users. No wonder it is the international language of the Internet, higher education, research & development, science, engineering, aviation, the medical profession and more! Better English can help you get ahead in many fields.
The term Business English is specifically related to (international) trade, the financial market and commercial enterprise. The importance to express oneself in proficient Business English should not be underestimated to be successful in the global business environment.
