Short Course through Multimedia Distance Learning (MDL)
Sharpening your command of English will contribute exponentially to your professional (and personal) development. This MDL short is designed to enable the busy professional not to lose sight of the essentials of accurate and correct English. The course aims to equip people with essential knowledge and skills in formal English, and to cultivate an orientation of developing these in everyday practice. The benefits of English skills in the professional context are numerous and significant:
1) Effective and efficient communication (most importantly).
2) Preventing negative perceptions due to grammatical errors and/or inappropriate
tone or usage.
3) Enhancing the overall quality of oral presentations and written reports/documents.
4) Depending on your professional context, professional credibility can
be promoted through your command of language in your oral and written
communications.
5) Finally, in the academic context, language and writing skills are also
indispensable in producing quality assignments, dissertations and theses.
The course is available to any person in any country (provided that he or she is already basically proficient in English). As is the case with all MDL courses, anyone may register online at any time, and materials will be dispatched on the next available dispatch date after receipt of the full tuition fee. The general international fee is £265.00 (this includes all materials, online support, assessments and examination, and courier to the student’s door).
A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the course. The
certificate states that the student has successfully completed the MDL
short course in "Professional English Skills", and, where he
or she achieves a distinction, this is clearly so indicated.
