Course Description

Do you participate in English-language meetings?

Do you need to prepare an agenda in English? Write the minutes in English?

And is English your second language?

This course is specifically for non-native English speakers needing skills in planning and participating in meetings. So if you work in administration or management, for a large company or small business, and if you have lower-intermediate or intermediate English language skills then this course is for you!

I'm a professional, qualified and experienced English trainer with over 9 years' experience teaching business English to companies and individuals. I base my training on many years' experience working in the public and private sectors in Australia, and believe that learning by doing is the most effective way.

So in this course you'll listen, watch, read, write and produce your own Invitations, Agendas, Minutes and more! You'll have direct contact with me, your teacher, and I'll work with you every step of the way.

By the end of this course you will be a confident and effective communicator in English, and a professional at planning and participating in meetings!

it's a shame there was often a time lag between audio lecture and the subtitles, sometimes embarrassing. And sometimes translating was false even incongruous. But OK besides.

Gran curso, lleno de contenido útil y diverso: vocabulario, expresiones, matices culturales... Aprovecha muy bien su duración, sin resultar denso en ningún momento.

I did well on this exercise. It helped me practice forming simple sentences in German and using verbs like essen and trinken with correct word order. I also learned how to talk about my preferences clearly.
