Course description

This is a negotiated tailor-made course (maximum 4 weeks). Students give brief details in advance of when and why they need to use English. This is followed up on day 1 with a detailed needs analysis. This information is used by the business teacher to prepare a suitable programme. This is reviewed regularly during the course so that classes can be adapted to changing students' needs. Students must be of an Intermediate standard to take this course. We offer courses for lower levels if we are informed in advance. We can also arrange visits to local companies if asked.
