Course Overview
The Teach Business English course is aimed at teachers of English who wish to refresh their skills for teaching business English to business people or vocational learners.
The number of participants is generally low and the degree of customisation is high! With a minimum of two teachers we will confirm a course running and welcome requests for course dates.
The course runs for 25 hours per week in the UNESCO world heritage city of Bath, UK and is delivered in a comfortable central location that provides free wi-fi and refreshments. It is eligible for KA1 Erasmus staff mobility funding.
