Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,649 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2023. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, phrase-focused English course for the meeting room. It runs about 98 minutes across 27 lectures in five sections: preparing for a meeting, attending one, and handling virtual or hybrid calls. It is aimed at intermediate to advanced learners who already have the grammar but hesitate to speak up. Kendra Lucas, a TEFL certified teacher who has taught English since 2008, leads it. Extras include handouts, four quizzes, three writing assignments and speaking exercises.

Reviewers like the clear structure and the practical examples. One mentions role plays that are easy to follow, and another says the teacher explains things clearly with plenty of examples. The numbers back that up: of 2,649 ratings, 1,465 are five stars and 929 are four stars. The complaints are about level and speed. One reviewer called it more basic than expected, another said it is obvious material better suited to new hires, and one non-native speaker asked her to slow down.

The last update was October 2023, so it is not fresh, though meeting phrases do not date quickly. For a course this short and paid, the value is fair if the level fits. Anyone already comfortable in English meetings will likely find it thin. Someone who freezes when it is time to speak, or who wants ready-made phrases for leading a discussion and handling tough questions, can finish it in an evening and start using them the next day.

Best forIntermediate English speakers who know the grammar but go quiet in work meetings.
Skip it ifYou already speak up in English meetings and want advanced negotiation or presentation depth.

Pros

  • Short: 27 lectures in about 98 minutes, easy to finish in a few sittings
  • Role plays and examples that reviewers call practical and easy to follow
  • Covers virtual and hybrid meetings, tough questions and meeting emails
  • Handouts, quizzes, writing assignments and speaking exercises included

Cons

  • Some reviewers find the material basic or obvious at this level
  • Last updated October 2023, so it is not recent
  • One non-native reviewer found the speaking pace too fast
Great course with useful information and practical exercise for different types of meeting. Recommended! Thank you!
Dmytro Ruban, a student

Intermediate English is required. A few reviewers found it basic, so it suits confidence gaps more than skill gaps.

This course is extremely helpful for people who want to learn how to lead business meetings and deal with unexpected situations in these meetings. The teacher conveys the knowledge clearly and provides a lot of great examples.

By Lidia Agner on 8/18/2023

Thank you very much. This course was probably one of the most entertaining (among the other English courses) one I have ever had. I have some difficulties with weekly meetings so that's why I choose your online training. I try to incorporate the mentioned things into practice. :)

By Anonymized User on 6/21/2023

The content was great. Really appreciate a few more listening exercises. Being a non native english speaker, often times I find it difficult to follow the pace of native english speakers ( not everyone's though).

By Sagar Mehta on 3/29/2023

Over all my experience is good. I also improve some my basic knowledge in English speaking with effective writing an email. Thanks a lot for such a nice course.

By Karen Olmos Vazquez on 9/1/2022

The content is really good and still current. My only observations are these: 1. I don't know if it's only my perception, but your voice sounds shaky like you're nervous throughout the entire course, which made me a bit anxious. 2. Also about the way of talking, I changed the speed of the course to 1.25x which felt more natural for this type of studies.

By Anonymized User on 7/25/2022

Thank you so much for the class, but please can you speak a little slowly, since English is not my first language was getting hard to pick the words.

By Phoke Elis Ranoto on 6/15/2022

currently i am struggling with talking during the meeting ,i believe this course will help me dealing with that situation and also be able to organise my meetings in the future. Thank you Kendra ,good preparation.
