Business English, conversation, etc.
In a globalised world, English is becoming more and more important. Many people depend on their English language skills at work when communicating with other countries and businesses. An English course may therefore be an important investment which will contribute to optimising the communication at several levels. We provide a wide range of tailored English courses in Jutland and on Funen, so that you can find courses which match your specific level and requirements.
Improve your spoken English
More and more people use spoken English in connection with their work. We therefore have a large number of courses aimed at oral communication. Conversation practice or a telephone course in English will practise your skills in connection with a constructive and fluent conversation in English, either face-to-face or in a telephone conversation. If you need to practice English within more specific areas, we have courses with emphasis on both technical language and business language. Furthermore, we have a presentation course for those who need to make a presentation in English.
