Courses for Business & Professional People

Courses for Business & Professional PeopleEnglish for Special Purposes (ESP) Courses

There is a growing demand for intensive English language courses that are very closely related to a specific professional area. Our short, concentrated ESP courses meet that demand. Our ESP courses have developed naturally to highlight some of the strengths of Chester.

Many of our executive clients have two basic requirements:

  • to develop their fluency in a general business context
  • to have some specific English language training in their own professional area

These needs can be met in our English for Special Purposes Courses. The first is best done through interaction between members of a small class. This is skilfully guided by our very professional trainers. The second is achieved through individual lessons.

We have worked in the corporate market for many years and have developed several areas of expertise, which we can now offer as ESP courses. English in Chester has excellent local contacts in many professional areas. These contacts, both at an academic and more practical level, are often involved in our ESP courses.
