INTENSIVE ENGLISH FOR THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY.  CODE: F1

Five days - 40Hrs Intermediate to Advanced level. Group Tuition 

This is an intensive course designed to progress your Financial English skills in a short space of time, using group activities carried out in the target language, in realistic business situations.

We start every day with an informal business breakfast where you will be able to discuss topical stories in the financial media with your tutor and fellow language learners. You will be introduced to a range of business-specific vocabulary, as well being helped to understand when and where to use jargon and buzzwords. Led by our qualified tutors, you will be helped to gauge the appropriate degree of formality in both spoken and written language and be given some useful grammatical constructs to help you to sound more fluent and natural.

Unique to our Financial English courses, students will enjoy a boardroom lunch which will include a presentation from a leading speaker on financial services. Course delegates will have the chance to practice their listening skills in real-time as well as put questions to the speaker after the presentation.

Other language skills include: chairing and participating in meetings; challenging and dissenting; presenting information to small or large groups; and reading financial reports. Each course also includes a session on reading the Financial Times – the most widely recognised source of news from international financial markets. The course includes an evening of drinks and dinner in the pub – the best way to relax after a hard week's work! Every learner undergoes a full assessment at the end of the course and receives a record of their progress.
