English For Business Level 1

Course details

The Level 1 Certificate in English for Business helps Trainees to develop their reading, writing, listening, and speaking Business English language skills. The aim of this course is to examine the trainee's ability to understand and write basic English and use it in simple, brief business communications.

This is an interactive lecture-discussion type of teaching.
