This intensive combination course is suitable for all levels of the English language (from Beginner to Advanced). However, this particular course has been especially designed to help those students whose level of English is below intermediate and would like to improve their proficiency in English whilst also learning the practical business language skills. On the student's first day of school, a language placement test will be carried out to enable the school to decide which level of the group General English classes and the one-to-one Business English tuition is best suited for the student in question.
