Develop the English you need for the workplace, from meetings and presentations to emails, negotiations and interviews. Our Business English courses build your confidence to communicate professionally in dynamic, international business environments.
You’ll focus on real-world business skills: writing clear reports and correspondence, presenting ideas persuasively, understanding business media, and preparing for job interviews. With IELTS exam preparation embedded in the curriculum, you’ll also gain a globally recognised qualification to support your career or academic progression.
Available at Upper-Intermediate (B2) and Advanced (C1) levels, the course follows a CEFR-aligned syllabus with weekly progress assessments and a formal review every 12 weeks, so you always know how you’re improving. Classes are small, interactive and taught by experienced, qualified teachers alongside classmates from over 20 countries.
At higher levels, you can also explore pathways into Dorset College’s QQI Level 7 and Level 8 degree programmes, making Business English a stepping stone to further study in Ireland.
Dorset College is accredited by ACELS and Eaquals, and has been teaching English in central Dublin for over 40 years. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].
