This online course is designed for Professionals whose first language is not English and who have already achieved a good level of spoken skills but find that they feel they are still held back in how they speak and how they are understood.

Typically these people are employed professionals, or ones seeking employment. These people need to achieve an accomplished level of mastery to be able to fulfill their duties and perform at a standard they and their managers, colleagues and clients are satisfied with. Of course, there may be others for whom this course would be appropriate.

This course will not be teaching you grammar rules and basic pronunciation. We assume that at an intermediate to advanced level, which you will need to be at to enroll in this course, you have already achieved a certain level of competence in these areas. Of course you may still have gaps in your understanding as well as your skills. These will be addressed as holes that need repair, not teaching you from scratch. Though of course if that is needed, that will also be done.

More typically at these levels you may well be struggling to express what you have already learned in a way that is at an acceptable level and that sounds confident and relaxed. So your knowledge will typically exceed your skills. But not always. Sometimes it is the other way round!
