LCCIEB Further Certificate for Teachers of Business English
Teach Business English with confidence and skill. Write the exam and gain an internationally recognised certificate, validated by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Examination Board - and now offered in Cape Town by inlingua Language Training Centre. This intensive, 36-hour course is designed primarily for EFL teachers with little or no experience of training in or for a Business environment.

However, it will also give practising BE trainers exposure to current theory and many practical ideas and techniques.

It combines input, discussion and workshop sessions – and everyone is expected to share experiences and ideas. You will be encouraged to reflect on your own teaching practice and implement new teaching strategies.

There is a pre-course task and reading list to help you focus on the areas under discussion.

Modules deal with three specific areas:
• Professional skills
• Methodology
• General business practice

The course is run full-time and part-time.

Full-time courses last two weeks, Monday-Friday, 09h00 – 17h30, with the exam on the following Saturday morning.

Part-time courses are run over 6 weeks, from 15h30-18h30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The exam is on the following Saturday morning. Contact us for dates of the next course.

Trainers: Meryl van der Merwe - ex-HR director/Business lecturer;
Dominic Chadbon – inlingua DoS with extensive Business English training experience; Jane Diesel – ESP course design/implementation
