Teaching Business English requires excellent knowledge of English grammar, Idioms and Expressions and is best supplemented with actual business experience. Your students will be either learning at the university level in preparation for a business career or actual business people who need to upgrade their English skills for the business they are in.

There are many reasons why business people need to learn English.

1. First and foremost, English is the main language of international business communications.

2. People in business need to communicate with employers, superiors, international departments, home office executives from another country, suppliers in another country and overseas customers.

3. People need to know how to speak correctly on the telephone, write business letters, memos, faxes, emails, reports, summaries, invitations, responses, enquiries, notices, submissions, requests, rebuttals and complaints.

4. People need to know the language of meetings: preparation, equipment, presentation style, charts and graphs, introductions, flow, closing, summarizing, and answering questions.

5. They need to learn the differences in English between formal and informal speech, writing, and the language of negotiating.

These are what you, as a Business English teacher, will be responsible for teaching them and our Certificate Course in Teaching Business English (TBE) will prepare you to do just that. Good Busines English teachers are in demand in many countries.

TBE is a three-month, 120 hour course of study with a value of three (3) credits. It is taught through an online, downloadable text and has four assignments.

Tuition is $375 US/CAD. There are no additional fees or expenses. Tuition includes the text, comments and suggestions by your assigned mentor, preparation and shipping of your certificate.

If you want to teach Business English at the college/university level or work in the very lucrative field of business training and development overseas, this is definitely the course you should take.

Though it is not a prerequisite, we also recommend taking our TEFLA course (Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults). TEFLA is an insightful course designed to help you to understand how adults learn and why teaching them is so different from teaching children. It is a completely different course from TBE.

Register today for both courses and save $50 on course fees. Taken together, the combined tuition is $700. This tuition saving may be discontinued at any time.
