Initially I had some doubts that enrolling in this course is a good idea; I'm not really a pupil-like person and it’s been ages since I studied something in a classroom. But reality proved my doubts were all wrong.

In the classes I have learnt a lot of business expressions, useful phrases for everyday work conversations and for small talk/chit chat. Now I could better understand other people at meetings, more actively participate in discussions, and my writing English has also been improved.

Apart from that, I have met a lot of interesting people in the class and that made the whole process more like fun rather than a classroom work.

It’s amazing how much new I have learnt in just 1 hour per week.

Thanks James.

Notes
Please be in the classroom 10 minutes before start time. Building security closes the lifts just before 6pm, so there's absolutely no access to level 8 after 6pm! 
 
 

The teacher cannot leave the class to get you if you're late.
