Business English courses are available from pre-Intermediate level and higher.  Business English courses have four stages to complete, but they are modular and can be taken in any order. (You must complete all modules to progress to the next Business level).

These courses focus on English in the workplace.  The Business English modules will develop the same core skills as in the general English, i.e.:

			listening and speaking skills
			reading and writing skills
			knowledge of grammar and its usage
			Discussion of Business cases
			Focus on key business skills suh as presentation skills and negociation language

However, they will enhance your knowledge of work-specific vocabulary through units based on various interesting business themes, and develop your key business skills such as presentations, meetings, negotiations, business correspondence, etc.
