BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSE

Business English is an integral part of the Direct English system which teaches effective listening, speaking, reading and writing in a business context. By combining dynamic course materials with face-to-face tutorials and workshops, based on real business scenarios, students develop the language skills they need to communicate confidently in an English speaking environment.

As an English-only course, Direct English Business English is aimed at competent Level 3 / Level 4 students. We offer a 4 week intensive Business English Course (18 hours/week) which includes a combination of tutorials, conversation classes, workshops and social/cultural outings.
