Business English – 28 lessons per week over 5 mornings and 4 afternoons. This is a negotiated tailor-made course (maximum 4 weeks). Students give brief details in advance of when and why they need to use English. This is followed up on day 1 with a detailed needs analysis. This information is used by the business teacher to prepare a suitable programme. This is reviewed regularly during the course so that classes can be adapted to changing students’ needs.
