Professional Communication Skills

Introduction

Communicating in today’s workplace requires a mix of language knowledge and professional communication skills. English language knowledge gives you the security that you are using the correct forms; communication skills in English give you the ability to build relationships and accomplish tasks. Taken together these two elements will ensure you have the necessary skills to perform competently in English, in a professional environment.

“I didn’t think the course would be so intensive, and I’m very  happy that way. The lessons were challenging and very rich: a  perfect way to practice and improve”

Mini groups are very effective for mastering the language. Everybody is involved in the process. The teachers encourage the students during the lessons and they also comment on the mistakes by exploring the choice of proper words and grammatical structures. Much attention is paid to train your communication skills
