Fast-track, Team-based MDL Course (3 weeks)
The course is available to any group of two to six persons in any country.
You may register online at any time. The fast-track course covers the
same scope as the MDL short course in Professional
English, but has only two exercise assignments and a final examination
assignment. It is also, unsurprisingly, considerably more intensive than the
three-month course.
The students start with a full-time one-day study session (using the study
guide and DVDs), with no preparation required. On this first day, they
start their first exercise assignment (which involves editing a piece
of complex writing). The team subsequently has one week within which
to submit the completed exercise assignment. The second exercise assignment
is then started and completed in week two. This
assignment involves each student's own writing. The examination
assignment is received at the end of week 2, and must be completed within
a week.
Each student is awarded a certificate upon successful completion of the
course. The certificate states that the student has successfully completed
the team-based MDL course in 'Professionally Applied English', and, where the team
achieves a distinction, this is clearly so indicated. The general international
fee for 2012 is £295.00 (this includes all materials, online support,
assessments and examination, and courier to the team coordinator's door).
