Level 5 Award in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Business English
Jump into this specialist course and become a Business English expert. The objective of this qualification is to prepare learners for employment as teachers of those who do not speak English as a first language, with a focus on Business English. As English continues to dominate the internet and global business communication, the demand for Business English instruction is rapidly growing. Unlike General English, Business English encompasses a wide range of language skills, from general business vocabulary to specialised industry-specific terminology.
This course is ideal for individuals with little to no experience in teaching English, as well as those with prior experience who seek a recognised qualification to enhance their credentials. Our 60-hour accredited course provides the best training in this area, all from the comfort of your own home. You will study five modules, each broken down into shorter, manageable lessons covering key aspects of teaching Business English.

Course Benefits
Upon completion, learners will earn a globally recognised award that can open doors to teaching positions, visas, and various employment opportunities related to English language instruction. Graduates will gain a comprehensive understanding of teaching Business English, along with practical skills in lesson planning and classroom management, preparing them to confidently embark on their teaching careers. This qualification is often pursued alongside a 180-hour Level 5 course as an additional specialisation.
What Will You Learn
You will learn the key differences between teaching General English and Business English. The course will build on your existing foundation of teaching skills, helping you understand the specific reasons why students study Business English and how to plan lessons effectively. You will also learn how to select appropriate activities and materials tailored to this group, ensuring efficient and targeted learning.
