These courses run on a weekly basis, and focus on general business English skills.

A lot of comprehension work is done and specific grammar problems are dealt
with in detail.
Conversation Lessons:
also run on a weekly basis, focusing on the improvement of conversation skills and confidence levels. Topics such as globalisation, political development, the environment and conservation as well as any other topical issues are covered.
