Effective Communication Skills

Business English: Part 1

Course Overview
One’s ability to communicate effectively in the professional workplace requires mastery of a number of different communication skill sets, and it is very important that those who work in such settings achieve such mastery. In organizations where effective communication is not the norm, otherwise avoidable problems typically ensue.
