graduates of the TEFL/TESOL Certificate Course. You now may earn a certificate in Teaching Business
English! This means that you will be highly qualified to teach business English, one of the most sought
after positions in EFL teaching. Since English has become the lingua franca of the global business world,
businessmen as well as support staff working in business, such as junior executives, secretaries and
receptionists, have found a need to learn business English for obvious reasons.
Companies training their employees need trainers with the specific skills to help them achieve their
goals, and they want results. They expect their TBE trainers to be fully qualified to teach. The ITTO
Teaching Business English course includes modules on all specific skill areas that a successful
business English teacher needs to know in order to teach effectively. ITTO's certificate in
teaching Business English guarantees being welcome from individuals wishing to study one on one
as well as corporate clients.
The content of our course is practical in nature and includes practical teaching ideas and material
you will be able to use in your Business English classes. During the program you will shadow
experienced teachers. You will be able to ask questions, share concerns and receive feedback
after class. Helping you to understand and meet the needs and preferences of your students is
one of the main aims of our Teaching Business English course. Teaching English to company
employees requires different approaches, skills and knowledge. Business English learners are
usually part of smaller groups and have specific needs relating to the business environment
they live in.
After completing the Teaching Business English course you will know how to approach teaching in
companies and professionals. In order to receive your certificate you will have to complete all
tasks to a satisfactory level.

should already hold a TEFL/TESOL certificate. The course should be a minimum of 120 hours with a
minimum of 6 observed teaching practices.
If you have not been in a business environment previously, don't worry. While this may be an advantage,
it is by no means a requirement, as a matter of fact most people we train do not come from a business
background.
