English for Work

Who is this course for?

This course is excellent for job seekers who need to learn or improve their English to enter into an increasingly competitive globalised job market. English for Work is designed to help people preparing for interviews, being ready for transitions to new cultures and environments, and excelling in their new position.

How it works

English is firmly established as the language of international business regardless of where the business is based. As a result, there are far more non-native speakers of English than native speakers. This course gives students the edge to get the job they want or excel in the one they have.
