Course Title: LCCIIQ Further Certificate for Teachers of Business English
Teach Business English with confidence and skill. Write the exam and gain an internationally recognised certificate, validated by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Examination Board – and now offered in Cape Town by inlingua Language Training Centre.
This intensive, 40-hour course is designed primarily for EFL teachers with little or no experience of training in or for a Business environment.
However, it will also give practising BE trainers exposure to current theory and many practical ideas and techniques.
It combines input, discussion and workshop sessions – and everyone is expected to share experiences and ideas. You will be encouraged to reflect on your own teaching practice and implement new teaching strategies.
There is a pre-course task and reading list to help you focus on the areas under discussion.
Modules deal with three specific areas:
* Professional skills
* Methodology
* General business practice
The course is run full-time. Part-time on request for a minimum of 6 trainees.
