Who is business English for?

• Professionals who use English at work and want to sound more confident and professional.
• Managers who lead meetings or present to clients in English.
• Job seekers preparing for interviews in English.
• People who've moved to Dubai or Ras Al Khaimah for work and want to communicate better with international colleagues.

If your English is below B1, start with a General English course first. You'll progress faster in business English once your everyday English is stronger.

Group course, private lessons or corporate training?

Group evening course

Best for individuals who want regular practice and to learn from other professionals. It's the best value per hour, and the evening schedule works around a full-time job.

Private business English lessons

Best if you need English for one specific situation, such as an upcoming presentation, a negotiation or a promotion interview, or if your schedule changes every week. Read private English tutoring in Dubai to compare options and prices.

Corporate English training for companies

Best when several employees need to improve their English. Our corporate training includes:

• Delivery at your offices in Dubai or Ras Al Khaimah, online via Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, or blended.
• Groups of 4 to 20 per class, from short programmes to year-long training.
• Free placement testing, monthly progress reports for HR, attendance reports and end-of-programme assessments.
• All-inclusive per-head pricing, with group discounts for teams of 10 or more.
• A tailored proposal within one working day, and training can start within a week.
