Many Business English courses are limited to teaching the vocabulary used in different aspects of commercial life. This could be due to nature of short Business courses, employment opportunities and other factors.

We have found that students who need English for Business usually require two different types of class:

• A General English class in the morning, in which they can interact with other students of the same academic level to improve their grammar and skills.
• This is then coupled with tailored one-to-one afternoon classes. This allows the student to gain general skills and focus on very specific skills, such as sales negotiation, writing a quotation and giving a presentation within your own industry. 

A veterinarian from Italy may want to improve their academic reading skills to keep up with the latest developments in best practice; a German Sales Engineer in Drinks Filtration may want to learn when to use the correct conditional to negotiate with a Russian Vodka distiller. We recognize that one size does not fit all. This may be the only English language immersion week you have time for this year. It has to be right.

However, for some students who are very busy, for example, Business Executives, the best option would be the Immersion Course which involves intensive 1-to-1 tuition over a period of a few weeks.  This course will focus on specific English skills and vocabulary to meet the needs of a particular business industry.
