This course will assist you to –

gain the skills and confidence to communicate purposefully and effectively in English; and
acquire tools and techniques to help you convey your intended message confidently, accurately and eloquently – not only at work but also in a broader social context.

Our hybrid courses combine live online sessions, which are facilitated by the course presenter, with self-directed online learning.

This course opens before the first live online session and closes well after the last online live session. This allows enough time for you to activate your SUNOnline presence before the live sessions start.
