With its focus on business in its environment, this course will help you move into professional contexts: sales correspondence, reports and reviews, presenting a company (location, organisational chart), job descriptions.

Depending on the area you work in or would like to work in, our teacher will supply the appropriate documents in order to help you improve your business-specific vocabulary. The course also aims to develop the communicative and cultural skills necessary for you to successfully enter into a professional environment (writing a CV and accompanying letter, job interview).

Students may greatly benefit by bringing their own general documents presenting their company, examples of internal communications or correspondence with customers. Since these documents may be of a confidential nature, BLS guarantees that no copies will be kept.
