Foundation Course
Speak and Write Confidently and Accurately​

Our Foundation Course enables Israeli companies and  organisations to communicate professionally in English to help strengthen relationships and trust with their contacts, customers and suppliers.

This covers the tone, mood and personality of English in verbal and written form. We teach people the accepted norms of behaviour in typical business contexts.

Attendees are encouraged to participate and role-play where appropriate. The emphasis is placed on practical business experience and application in the real world.  The Course Leader will be sensitive to the class needs, so if, for example,  there is a particular desire to perfect e-mailing ability, we will give due emphasis and time to that topic.
