Do you feel your school English is letting you down? Do you sometimes lack fluency and practice? Perhaps you would like to be more fluent on the phone. Or welcome English-speaking visitors in a more professional way. Or write correct mails and letters and avoid the typical mistakes a non-native English speaker tends to make.

This training is made for you! After these 2 days you will feel much more at ease using English in a business context.

Pre-course work

Prior to this training, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire on your professional needs. This way, the trainer will be able to use examples from your own practice in different conversation sessions.
