Maybe this course is helpful for people with a really basic English. If you are already speaking now and then, it's completely useless.
By Agampreet Singh on 1/6/2022
According to me this course should be provided for free. There’s nothing special in this course, most of us are quite familiar with the things they are teaching in this course.

At first i would say i wasn't too sure whether or not i would pull this through but aftergiving my attention to the lessons i think it all worth learning

This course is different to most others I took. The flow is smooth and the business language, the conversations and expressions are very realistic.

I like the way we got involved into practice. It’s very useful. I sure did learn a lot from these lessons. Will definitely register to another program from E4B.
By Nicolas Llovet on 7/19/2020
This course was really useful for me. It is straight to the point with tons of practical activities. I have tried a lot of language courses in the past but none of them really helped me with my communication in business. I really recommend this course, fun, practical and really well put together. Thank you E4B and thank you Nick.

Both the instructor and the course are excellent. The course objectives are clear and easy to understand. The courses are engaging and very related to my daily business situations. Easy to apply. Plus, it comes with a good quality of video and audio.
