IDP's Business
Communication Skills courses are for people who need a broad
development of their English language ability within a business
context. While the courses highlight production skills (speaking
and writing) the training takes a 'four-skills' approach and also
develops reading and listening skills. Courses are offered from
elementary to advanced levels of English.
The various levels of the Business Communication Skills
programme lead towards the University of Cambridge ESOL
Examinations Business English Certificate (BEC) test. While
participants take the BEC test on a voluntary basis, it acts as
both an indication of a course participants level of English
language competency and a third-party validation of IDP's
training.
The program offers a 60-hour course for beginners and six levels
of study ranging from Lower Elementary to Advanced.
