Course ​Content

Doing Business in a Policy Context is a course aimed to help senior managers whose work is affected by public policy to communicate in English on these issues at European or international levels.
 
The course content will focus on communication skills (discussions, presentations, negotiations) dealing with domestic and European policy and government regulatory frameworks in the context of your organisation. This may include:

  • Energy policy
  • Construction regulations
  • Telecommunications regulations
  • Transport and infrastructure
  • Health and safety
  • Environmental protection

As task-based courses, there is an emphasis on practical communication activities such as presenting, holding meetings and discussions, and producing written material, including briefings, submissions, reports, official correspondence and press releases.

Levels and Outcomes

English training programmes are available to individuals at all levels of English knowledge (see the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). All potential participants will take a free placement test, to assess their general level of English and their professional interests. Participants will be grouped according to their language level and  requirements.

Final assessments will be discussed together with HR or the relevant course organiser. Participants may be required, for example, to demonstrate a specific skill or learning outcome through a presentation, submission of a written portfolio or a timed assessment. This will be designed to ensure that the skills developed can be effectively put to use in pursuing broader organisational objectives, and achieving a social and public-policy impact.
