PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
Professional English at London School of Languages
The English that gets you through customs is not the English that wins a contract. Professional English is its own dialect: the meeting English, the negotiation English, the diplomatic email English that working professionals across every industry need to do their jobs in international companies. Our Professional English course is built around exactly that.
This isn't a General English course with a few business words sprinkled in. The Professional English programme at London School of Languages is structured around the situations that come up at work — chairing a meeting, writing a follow-up email that doesn't sound rude, presenting to a senior audience, pushing back on a deadline politely, sounding confident on a conference call where you're the only non-native speaker.
Why It Matters
Many professionals have functional English — enough to get by in casual conversation — but freeze up in higher-stakes situations: a board presentation, a client negotiation, a difficult conversation with their line manager. Professional English isn't just vocabulary. It's also tone, register, hedging, diplomacy and the unspoken rules of native-speaker workplaces. We teach all of it.
Who This Course Is For
- Working professionals using English daily who want to sound more polished.
- Managers and senior staff in international companies, especially in client-facing roles.
- Professionals preparing to relocate to the UK, US, Canada or Australia for work.
- Business owners and freelancers selling internationally in English.
What You'll Actually Practise
Expect to spend most of the course role-playing real workplace scenarios. Meetings. Negotiations. Job interviews. Client calls. Difficult conversations. Presentations. You'll write emails and get them edited. You'll record yourself presenting and get feedback. Most of our Professional English students see noticeable improvement in confidence within the first month — not because their grammar got better, but because they stopped hesitating.
How It's Delivered
The Professional English course is offered on-campus in London and online. Many of our students study online from their offices abroad. Most opt for part-time, evening or weekend groups that fit around work, but full-time intensive Professional English schedules are also available.
