Business English Online Course

Our Business English course provides you with practical language skills for your professional life. The curriculum covers professional email correspondence, confident phone calls in English, small talk in business situations, active participation in meetings, as well as negotiation language and presentation techniques. You'll also learn cultural etiquette in the international business environment, so you can confidently interact with colleagues and business partners from different countries. The course is consistently practice-oriented – you practice using realistic scenarios from everyday business life and can immediately apply what you've learned in your job.

The Business English course spans 8 weeks and takes place every Wednesday from 6:15 PM to 8:15 PM. It comprises a total of 16 teaching units. The course is delivered as live online instruction, so you can participate comfortably from home or the office – all you need is a stable internet connection. The evening format is ideal for professionals who work during the day and want to develop their skills in the evening. If you're looking for other evening course options, take a look at our English evening course.

The course is offered at two levels: B1/B2 and B2/C1. You should therefore already have solid English skills – at least at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). If you're not sure where you stand linguistically, we recommend our free placement test. This allows us to find the right level for you together, so you're neither under- nor over-challenged and benefit optimally from the course.

The course is aimed at professionals who regularly use or want to use English in a professional context. International professionals working in an English-speaking or multinational environment particularly benefit, as do career-oriented professionals who want to improve their career prospects through better English skills. Whether you're writing emails to international clients, participating in English-language meetings, or giving presentations to an international audience – this course prepares you specifically for these situations.

While general English courses cover a broad range of everyday topics, our Business English course focuses exclusively on professionally relevant communication situations. Instead of holiday vocabulary or café small talk, here you practice writing professional emails, making phone calls with business partners, negotiation language, and presentation techniques. The course is fully practice-oriented and geared towards direct application in everyday business. If you'd rather refresh your general basics first, our English intensive course could be a good starting point.

Yes, we also offer Business English as a tailored company course. We adapt content, schedules, and focus areas to the specific requirements of your company – whether industry-specific vocabulary, negotiation training, or presentation coaching.
