Introduction
With a fast-growing and highly competitive international business environment, English has become an essential tool of success in the world market.
Our Business English course prepares you for professional situations on a global scale. It is specifically aimed at adult learners who would like to improve their English skills for sales and customer care purposes.
The course will give you an insight into the speaking, reading, writing and listening skills needed in a professional environment. Realistic business tasks are used throughout the course as the main means of teaching. This provides you with the ability to apply your newly gained knowledge in business contexts immediately.
The Business English course is also designed to enable students to use English confidently in both professional and social situations, such as presentations, meetings, negotiations, telephoning in English and networking.
The exam fee for Cambridge ESOL BEC exams ranges from £66 to £115. The exam fee is not included in the tuition fee. Grafton's staff will assist you in booking your BEC exam at the nearest centre according to the dates that are available and suitable for you
