Professional Skills Workshops

The British Council launches a series of professional skills workshops at its Teaching Centres in Chennai.

Are you unsure of your communication skills in the workplace? Do you feel confident while making presentations? Do you hesitate to speak up in meetings or with your superiors? The British Council is prepared to address the growing demand for English language training in the workplace for aspiring professionals. With workshops specifically designed to develop written, spoken and presentation skills, this promises to be an express route to professional confidence and success.

International English  

English is the international language for business and clarity of language is an essential tool of doing business internationally. This workshop aims to ensure that you can communicate effectively with your international clients, by raising awareness of the differences between Indian English and standard English.
