Customised Business Communication Skills (CBCS)

The CBCS was introduced to Sri Lanka in 2011 and was designed to meet the job-specific business language training needs of Sri Lankan organisations.  Whether you work in medicine, IT, banking or retail we can deliver the language training that you need.

Interested?  Please contact us to discuss your training needs.

Course Design

Our experienced course developers conduct a comprehensive needs analysis before the course starts to build up a detailed picture of how the participants use English at work – and to pinpoint the skills and functional language they need.

We create fully customised course syllabuses for every CBCS course based on the needs of the client.

Course Materials

CBCS does not use “traditional” English text books and no two CBCS courses are ever the same.  Course materials are designed by our trainers using:

The client’s specific training needs
The PDU’s soft skills resource library
The British Council’s global database of business English materials

Methodology

CBCS is a practical course designed to improve communicative ability and each training session uses a communicative, task-based approach.  

Each session involves language input and discussion and builds up to a task that allows participants to practise and demonstrate communicative ability in the most realistic way possible.  

ASSESSMENT

CBCS course participants are assessed using a system of “continuous assessment”, in which a number of assessed tasks during the course count towards an overall grade.
