NEW from The London School of English: English for Young Engineers

The London School of English, which specialises in business language and communications training, launched a new course for non-native English speakers working in engineering – both in the UK and overseas. The course, entitled English for Young Engineers is aimed at people in the early stages of their careers.

The two-week intensive course is designed to help participants communicate more effectively in English when discussing technical matters. The focus will be on improving communications with clients, colleagues and subcontractors and there will also be opportunities to develop presentation skills.

“This course offers language training with a professional focus – very different from the general English people may have studied at school or university,” explains London School of English Director of Courses Peter Thompson. “There is very little time spent on language theory, this course is designed to develop the practical skills required in the workplace.”

There is a maximum of ten people per course and as all participants are at a similar point in their careers, it is an excellent opportunity to share the experience of other young engineers and build up an international network of contacts.

“It’s amazing what can be achieved in two weeks,” says Peter Thompson. “Our course participants are highly motivated and make fast progress. We know from our experience running similar courses for lawyers and business professionals, that this intensive approach can have a transforming effect on an individual’s career prospects.”
