At Canning, we don’t follow a pre-defined course programme. Our course programme is you. When you start the course, you’ll brief us about the biggest challenges you face in English – presenting sales figures to your boss, explaining technical details to your client, holding a meeting via video conferencing – and we’ll make sure you face these challenges every day. Every participant has their own needs, but group courses often include…

Social English: ice-breaking, small talk, networking.

Meetings: solve problems, make suggestions and convince others.

Phone calls, conference calls and video conferencing: follow the discussion and communicate clearly when you’re not in the same room.

Presentations: stand up and get your message across clearly, persuasively and memorably.

Negotiations: get to win-win solutions with your clients, suppliers or colleagues.

Intensive listening practice: capturing the “big picture” and the detail of high-speed conversations between native and non-native speakers with a range of accents.

Taking control of conversations: influence the pace and direction of a conversation so that you have time to understand and contribute.

Grammar: it doesn’t have to be boring! We’ll give you the grammar you need to communicate clearly and sound impressive.

Pronunciation: learn the natural sounds, rhythms and contractions of spoken English.
