Frequently asked questions

How good does my English need to be before I start?
You should already be using English at work and feel ready to move beyond basic fluency. The course targets C1-level communication, so it's a better fit if you want to make your English more precise rather than learn how to handle everyday conversations from scratch. Expect to work on explaining complex ideas, supporting your opinions, and responding to difficult questions in professional situations.
What kind of work will I actually practise?
You'll practise situations where both your message and your wording matter: presenting an idea, answering challenging questions, negotiating, and writing for work. The writing includes reports, proposals, formal emails, and recruitment-related texts. There's also work on presenting data and adapting information for different audiences. The emphasis is on communicating clearly when you need to explain something, persuade someone, or respond thoughtfully under pressure.
Is this only useful if I'm a manager?
No. Managers and team leads are part of the intended audience, but you don't need a management role to find the tasks relevant. It's also aimed at professionals who join meetings in English, specialists who write reports or proposals, and people applying for international roles. The useful distinction is whether you need English for more demanding workplace communication, rather than whether you currently supervise a team.
How is this different from a general advanced English course?
The focus is advanced English applied to workplace decisions and discussions, rather than general conversation alone. You'll work with grammar such as advanced conditionals and inversion, alongside professional communication skills such as hedging, weighing up options, and challenging assumptions. Pronunciation and listening are part of the course too. That makes it relevant if you already communicate in English but want more control over tone, precision, and how you support an argument.
Should I choose this if my main goal is passing a C1 exam?
If an exam is your main goal, don't assume this will replace exam-specific preparation. The course targets C1 Advanced English for workplace use, with tasks built around meetings, presentations, negotiations, and business writing. The available information doesn't establish preparation for a particular exam format, timed papers, or marking criteria. It may suit your workplace-language goals, but you'll need to check separately for support tailored to your chosen exam.
How much time should I set aside for it?
Expect a three-month programme with 54 lessons. A total runtime and weekly study-hour estimate aren't provided, so there's no reliable number of hours to plan around from the available information. When organising your schedule, allow room for practising the speaking and writing tasks as well as working through the lessons. If your availability is tight, check the lesson lengths and expected workload before committing.
Will the skills still be useful if I change jobs or industries?
Many of the skills apply across professional settings: structuring reports, presenting information clearly, weighing up options, and expressing uncertainty without losing precision. You'll also work on responding to challenging questions and questioning assumptions, which aren't tied to one job title. Although some examples involve investors, contracts, or hiring, the broader focus is how you explain, support, and adapt your message in workplace communication.
