Overview

English is the global language of business, and employers increasingly value professionals with strong communication skills. The Award in Professional English provides learners with a competitive advantage by developing the advanced English proficiency and business awareness needed to succeed in international professional environments.

Delivered at EQF/MQF Level 4 and aligned with CEFR B2+, this career-focused programme immerses students in a professional English-speaking environment from day one. It develops all four language skills through practical, real-world business contexts, including management, leadership, finance, information technology, human resources, ethics, entrepreneurship, strategy, and risk.

The programme integrates language development with professional insight, enabling students to communicate fluently and accurately while understanding how organisations operate. Through presentations, discussions, reports, case studies, and analytical tasks such as SWOT analyses, learners gain confidence, autonomy, and workplace-ready communication skills.
