Course Catalogue

My customers' demands for suitable courses can be organized into nine catagories. These form the basis of the list below. Naturally, aspects can be omitted or added to every course in order to meet your aims and desires.


 



Sales in English

Various aspects of sales will be looked at in this course. We'll start with company and product descriptions and end with specific skills, e.g. presentations and negotiations. An important theme in this course is building business relationships. This area covers recommendations and explanations in restaurants; city tours and small talk. Topics in this course can be added or completely removed as you please. 30 up to 50 hours are recommended in order to learn the material.






Purchasing English

Buyers can search outside of their own countries to try to get the best price for materials needed by the company. In order to get these better deals you must be able to efficiently communicate in English. You need to discuss contracts, write inquiries and orders, negotiate terms and complain politely but forcefully. These subjects plus much more are found in these lessons. Hours needed to cover all areas may range from 30 to 50. Naturally, these lessons can be customized to fit your specific needs.






English at trade fairs

This course has been specifically designed to meet the special needs you have while participating in a trade fair. Areas covered in this course are: introducing yourself and your company; talking about and comparing your products; small talk, presenting your company's innovations and making arrangements. 20 to 30 hours directly before trade fair participation will be a great help and other topics can certainly be added.






Secretarial English

Secretaries need English to deal with international customers calling or writing to their companies. Skills to handle these special customers, such as correspondence and telephoning, will be trained in this course. Whether you are a newbie at an international company needing a good foundation to start from or a long-term veteran just wanting a fresh-up, this course is for you. 20 hours can give you a good basis and can be extended up to 40. Specific needs can be discussed before the course begins.






English and finances

In this course, you will be taught how to explain and discuss financial situations. The most important documents and their functions will be talked through. You will be prepared to be able to talk clearly and effectively about reports, balance sheets, profit and loss statements and much more. Diagrams, banking and stock trading will also be looked at. Obviously, each topic in this course can be discussed more intensively or completely removed.






Conversational English

This course is great for one-on-one or group lessons and can be designed to cover any subject matter or topic. The main point is to talk. A vocabulary list will be made at the end of the lesson and covered at the beginning of the following lesson. This programme is also great to practise job interviews. Any number of hours can be taking with this course.






Travel English

Are you planning a trip? And worried about your English skills? Here's a course just for you. This programme has been set up on the basis of real-life situations, for example: immigration, customs, car rental, restaurant, directions, hotel and shopping. In order to keep lessons as realistic as possible, copies of real forms, which you will need on your trip, will be provided to learn from. If you have questions only about certain areas we can leave out the parts you don't need. You need ten to thirty hours to work through the material.






Technical English

This course was created for YOUR area of expertise. Therefore, the planning of the course needs your complete support and input. These means that we learn about your work, assignments in your job and the vocabulary from your industry. Technical drawings and data sheets from your company or industry have to be brought into class, from which we can draw conversations about technical specifications, tools, functions and production. 20 to 40 hours are needed to accomplish the material.






Telephoning for Beginners

Your customers' first impression of your company depends on how professional their calls are received. In this programme we'll work on connecting callers; putting customers on hold and taking massages. I will help you find your own method to deal with callers professional. You'll need 10 to 30 hours to learn everything.
