Business English course

Would you like to speak and write English more confidently in a professional environment? After following our Business English training, you’ll find it much easier to communicate in English.

The Business English training is an interactive training in which you will get the chance to actively practice your English. Do you have difficulty finding the right words when writing an English email? Do you sometimes find it hard to hold a telephone conversation? Or do you struggle when switching between Dutch and English? Our Business English training will provide you with the necessary tools to help you further.

Customized program

This training is given in small groups providing the possibility for personal attention. Before the training, all participants are asked to fill in an intake form. Based on the intake results, our trainer then develops a customized program which enables you to practice with relevant material and practical situations. Of course, all of the language skills will be handled: writing, speaking, listening and reading. We also focus on ‘Dunglish’, cultural differences, grammar and vocabulary.

The Business English course consists of various modules: writing emails, telephone conversations, copywriting, presentation, networking and pronunciation. Of course, you can also arrange for Business English to be taught as an in-company course. Again, it is up to you to select the modules you wish to include. We will tailor our offer to suit your needs.
