Individual weekend intensive course

Participants
This flexible individual course is for participants who want to work on their language and communication skills on a one-to-one basis without losing a full week in the office.

Objectives
Programmes are customised totally to individual requirements. Your trainer will do a detailed needs analysis on Thursday morning and develop a timetable of activities which meets your needs. The following three areas form the basis of our English and international communication courses at York Associates.

1. Language
Most participants want to develop their confidence and fluency in English. Your training course will create lots of opportunities for speaking and listening. There will also be a focus on increasing vocabulary and developing more accurate English with a better command of grammar and pronunciation.

2. Professional communication
You can select from a menu of professional communication areas depending on the relative importance in your current or future job. This menu includes

presentations
meetings
negotiations
telephone calls
writing emails and reports
socialising

You can also decide to develop core communication skills such as clear speaking, effective listening, facilitating, conflict management and influencing which are important across all of these business communication situations.

3. Intercultural
Many professionals want to develop a greater understanding of the role which culture has in the international business world. Our internationally experienced trainers can support you to develop both cultural knowledge and the intercultural skills important for your role.
