English is the major language of international business. Ambitious individuals need to increase fluency and competence in order to remain competitive in the workplace.
In many jobs, you'll come across a point where you benefit from understanding business specific English. This course helps you deal with those situations and maximise your career potential.
With our unique combination of tutorial classes and virtual reality (VR), you'll be able to communicate effectively and confidently around the workplace. VR lets you practice business related scenarios in a realistic way and as often as you need to, so that you’re more prepared when the real situation occurs.
If you're preparing for an English job interview, working with English speaking clients, meeting with stakeholders or moving country, this course gives you the skills you need to grow.
Who should take this course?
Our course is aimed at intermediate to advanced English learnings who want to improve business specific communication skills for the workplace.
How does it work?
When you enroll in this language course, you will receive:
- Access to over 30 online tutorials through our website
- An access code to unlock 6 VR training experiences within our app
- A VR headset, if you require one
An example of how this works: you'll learn how to lead a workplace meeting or discussion, then you'll be prompted to put on a VR headset and practice this in our VR meeting scenario, where you'll be leading the group meeting and driving the agenda.
