Why Will A Business English Course Further Your Career?
Like it or not, English is the language of communication
. With reportedly 1.5 billion people already speaking English and another one billion learning, it seems fair to say that English is the most useful language to learn as a second language. Business today takes place in a competitive and global marketplace, so if you want to participate and succeed, there is no doubt that a reasonable level of Business English is an absolute necessity.
From competitions such as the Olympics to organizations like the United Nations and NATO, English is the main spoken language. Diplomats and politicians often communicate in English.
English is now the language of technology, computer science, genetics and medicine.
There are many
English language courses on offer in Australia. A Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC) Vantage course may be a good career choice for you. This course is offered at our Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses.
So why will it benefit a student?
A study by Johnson OConner Research Laboratory conclusively proved that a persons vocabulary correlates directly with ones rank on the corporate ladder [*1]. BROWNS Business English course (Cambridge BEC Vantage) differs from the General Academic classes because of the emphasis on specific vocabulary, which in turn gives students the opportunity to speak with greater confidence due to the enormous business vocabulary that is learnt.
Other benefits include:
Students will be able to sell themselves and their products with greater ease
Gain more credibility from work colleagues, managers and clients/customers
Deliver better and more powerful presentations
Prepare and perform better on job interviews
Never feel left out of conversations
Avoid silly/costly mistakes in both writing and understanding
Avoid cultural misunderstandings
Make a good impression
Networking & contacting people from all over the world
Travel more easily & communicate wherever they are
All of the above points will provide greater job opportunities, broaden horizons, increase responsibilities, improve the prospects for promotion which will ultimately lead to a better salary. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to see the benefits, but lets see what the students themselves have to say.
What the students say:
Having a basic knowledge of English will not open career doors so I think that by doing Business English, I will learn so much vocabulary that it will help me in my future career & lead to higher paying jobs. Alejandra Colombia
In a
Business English course the student learns the vocabulary used in business and they perform different tasks to practice applying it .. to conduct meetings and give them confidence when they start to negotiate in business. Fouad Libya
If you know Business English you can work in other countries for international companies. Juliana Colombia
The thank you note below clearly shows the gratitude and appreciation of a student who has benefitted from a Browns Business English course. It is from a Brazilian accountant who along with his wife, invested one year of their lives
learning English in Australia. In one of our conversations when I asked him what sort of pay rise he could anticipate by studying Business English, I was astonished when he said he would be able to double his present salary.
Dear Andrew
How are you?
We are fine, we came back to Brazil and were living in Salvador, its a beautiful place.
I had a work interview last week for a big international company in Brazil. It was all in English with two directors, one German and another American. I was a little bit nervous but on the other hand pretty confident. Im approved, I got it!!
I'm now working for Ford Motor Company and I'm speaking English every single day, all the meetings are in English because we have a lot of overseas staff working here in Brazil and I'm working on a Global program. The car will replace the Ford Ka and will be manufactured in Brazil, India, China and Thailand, and the team managment is here in Salvador.
I'm very happy with this year. I went to Australia, learned English, got the best waves in Oz and got a good job.
Andrew, I need to say thank you for your help, your particular classes helped me to get my new job, now I can talk with every one, and that makes me proud.
Keep in touch,
Best wishes
Bruno and Bella - Brazil.
