Course description

The Business English program equips students with the practical speaking, reading, writing, listening and other skills students need to communicate fluently with business people all over the world. ABILITY Education will help students succeed in a business career by working with them to increase rapidly their English language and related skills. Fluency in Business English is essential to advance in a business career in Australia or to work in a foreign company needing to communicate with customers, suppliers and colleagues. Professional skills, qualifications and experience are simply not enough. Our course is built around very practical day-to-day business skills so that students acquire both a wide range of commercial expertise as well as an in-depth understanding of the language. Student progress is closely monitored, with continuing assessments and one-to-one feedback on a weekly basis. To enter the Business English course, students need an upper intermediate level of English, equivalent to an IELTS level of 5.0. Prices and start dates may vary according to season, available promotions and selected module. Please consult a student adviser for further information.
