About this programme
Business English is not general English with harder vocabulary. It is a limited set of recurring situations a professional needs to perform with confidence: an email that gets read and answered, a meeting you take part in, a presentation you deliver, and a negotiation where you do not lose your position to a phrasing.
The programme builds those situations one at a time: the structure of professional email and its registers — the difference between a request and a demand — then meeting language: interrupting politely, disagreeing without confrontation, asking for clarification without embarrassment. Then presenting and narrating figures, and finally the language of negotiation and terms. The training is applied: you write and speak in every session rather than only listen.
It suits anyone dealing with clients or colleagues in English who finds they understand more than they can say, and anyone moving into a multinational workplace.
It is most useful to someone with an intermediate foundation in English. The academy issues a certificate of completion stating the hours.

In a poll inside one workshop group, 204 of 213 participants said the workshop added to their knowledge and that they were satisfied — 96%. In another, on the trainer’s delivery of the PMP course, all 24 who voted chose “very satisfied”, and nobody chose anything else.

For individuals
Start here
Tell us which field interests you and we will point you to the programme that fits your level and its next cohort — with no commitment.
For organisations
Train your team on what it actually needs
We build the programme around your organisation's need, with examples from your sector, and run it at your premises or online at a time that does not interrupt operations.
How do I join the community?
Joining is free: leave your details and you'll get cohort dates and member pricing. You only pay when you reserve a seat on a course, and that's when your cohort's WhatsApp invite arrives.
Is the certificate accredited and recognised?
The academy issues a certificate of completion for every course, with a serial number and a public verification code any employer can check on our site. Courses that prepare you for an international certificate such as PMP say explicitly that the accreditation comes from the awarding body, not from us.
Which payment methods can I use?
mada, Apple Pay and international credit cards, through a licensed gateway that never stores your card details. Online payment is still being prepared; until it is live we hold your seat over WhatsApp. The published price is what you pay — no certificate issuing fee and nothing appearing later.
What if the course isn't right for me?
You can have a full refund before the cohort starts, under the refund policy in the terms. And if you start and find the level wrong, we move you to the cohort or track that fits, at no difference in price.
