    Course details

    To provide intermediate – advanced English Language training for students currently in business careers or for students preparing to enter a business environment. Unlike General English training, this training places English in a business context while using the terminology used in a business.

    What kind of student is this program for?

    The ACEC Business English program is designed for people who need to, or will soon need to, use English in their work. It is also targeted for adult students who will be entering the world of business at the end of their course of study.

Students who successfully complete the upper intermediate level will have the option to study our Business Report Writing Course (30 hours in duration). 

    What is Business English and how does it differ from General English?

    There is a certain amount of vocabulary that can be uniquely classified as ‘business vocabulary’. However, most business English is simply English used in business contexts. Business English is not a special language. The ACEC business courses will provide some specialized terminology unique to business, but the main thrust of the course is to use English in business contexts.
