Professional courses focusing on specialised terminology for professionals who require specific skills and understanding / using specialised vocabulary in their line of work.

For successful participation in one of our Vocational English or English for Specific Purposes Courses careful needs analysis is required. As a language learner you need to consider the following key questions:

  • What are my priorities?
  • What is my current level in the language?
  • What is the desired level I want to reach?
  • How much time do I have?

 

Our Vocational English and English for Specific Purposes Courses cover a wide range of professional language competence skills. Some examples of the professional fields covered in our Vocational English and English for Specific Courses are:

  • Medical English
  • English for professionals in the Health Sector
  • Legal English
  • Financial English
  • English for Pilots
  • English for the Police
  • English for Civil Engineers
  • English for Hotel Employees

 

All our vocational language courses use authentic materials and students develop and improve the necessary language skills for their profession through constant practice. To maintain high level of tuition, the Vocational English & English for Specific Purposes courses include:

  • Use of English in meaningful situations
  • Authentic texts for understanding the language in real situations, providing numerous opportunities for discussion
  • Videos for direct presentation and understanding of the language
  • Simulation of situations to practise applying the taught phenomena
  • Case studies drawn from students’ personal experiences
  • Creating projects
  • Online training

 

All students enrolling in Vocational English and English for Specific Purposes courses should be at least at a B1 level of English according to the Common European Framework of Languages.

In order to ensure our students will benefit the most from our Vocational English and English for Specific Courses, our Academic Directors carefully assess the level of each student before the commencement of each course, to ensure successful placement takes place.

I learn better

What do I need learn?

How much time do I have?

What personal experiences do I bring with me?

Do I speak other languages? If yes, what helped me learn to speak?

Which language skills am I good at? Which ones do I need to practise more?

Our teachers and Academic Directors can help you choose the language course most suitable for your needs, as well as to help you decide the learning mode (group or one-to-one teaching, blended learning or online learning)

We’ve got you covered!

Our Centre gives you the opportunity to benefit both from improving your level of English and certifying your knowledge.

By attending our adult classes, from Beginner level A1 to Proficiency C2, you can take either the Cambridge Assessment English, the Michigan Language Assessment or the English Speaking Board (ESB) exams to certify your level.

All three Examination Bodies provide English Language Certifications that are both recognised overseas ( subject to conditions), and they also appear in the list of English Language Proficiency Certifications of the Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection (ASEP).
