It is for existing EFL teachers who want to enhance their career and learn more about this specialised area of Teaching Business English. You should already hold a TEFL certificate or have some experience in teaching EFL.
The course is written by EFL professionals with a wealth of experience in planning and delivering practical Business English classes. It takes you through everything you need to know about teaching one-to-one, different teaching techniques and business based activities and how to implement everything you have learned into a real teaching situation. You will also learn how to create tailor-made lessons for your business students.
