When you need training that is intensive and focused and when there is little time for a course that takes 8-12 weeks to complete, you can always request a seminar or a workshop.

Participants
For groups and individuals who have special requirements and need intensive learning in a specific field. The seminars and workshops will train your skills in one particular area with a teacher who knows not only the language taught, but also the context and topics of the seminar - from his or her own experience as a business professional.

Course contents
The seminars and workshops will be unique in what they contain - but will all focus on one particular industry, or one particular phenomenon. For 1-2 intensive days, learning will be the top priority, and students will work closely with their teacher on in-class projects, individual testing, and group exercises.

• Financial English: This course lends itself to students working within banking and finance, auditing and accountancy, as well as taxation. Words and terminology in situations relevant to your area of finance are used.
• Taxation English: The language of taxation is one of the most demanding, and even in your own native tongue, let alone a second language, the challenges can be great. The course is written by an experienced tax professional and based on his experiences and skills using taxation English at work.
• Human Resources English: Clear and effective communication in: an employee appraisal interview; interviewing job applicants; giving instructions and advice to employees; making presentations and understanding cross-cultural differences, etc. This seminar will give you the skills and confidence to do all of these things and more.
• Writing to Sell: When you are trying to convince someone of something in writing, be it for sales purposes or when writing to a client, you require a certain flair with words. The ability to write is often quite different from the ability to speak and understand, and can be quite challenging. Exercises will include an analysis of style, tone and grammar and will provide you with the necessary feedback for you to improve your written communication in business.
• Legal English: Participants will become familiar with legal words and terminology, by directing the training towards exercises in clear and thorough communication in the language of law!
• Written Documentation: You will work with everything from simple e-mails to writing minutes and long, technical reports. The structure of information and the clarity of words will be practiced, as will the ability to extract the essentials from a topic and write a brief summary of a long, complex text.
• Cross-cultural challenges: There is so much to language that cannot be taught in a class. Idioms and expressions, as well as body language and social expectations, can often be the greatest hurdle when dealing with native English-speakers. This seminar will teach you some of the secret codes that you ought to know.
