English for Specific Purposes
What is the course about?
We offer a range of courses which combine a focus on specialist vocabulary relevant for participants’ specific jobs with skills training. Specialist areas include Energy English (Oil, Gas and Energy Industries), Financial English, Human Resources English, Legal English, Maritime English, Political English, Purchasing English, Sales English, Technical English, Education, Trade Union and EWC English, and Cambridge BEC Exam preparation.
Our ESP courses combine mornings of one-to-one training dedicated to a participant’s specialist terminology with afternoons focused on group work (Business Communication) and the development of professional and intercultural communication skills, putting the specialist vocabulary into practice.
