**This course is for Spanish speakers**
Building upon the foundations established in the previous levels, this course continues to provide theory and practice in English grammar, though the quantity of this type of material is decreasing as we draw nearer to the advanced courses, in which the majority of the material will be content-based.
The instructor will speak in his native language in all of the sessions, using Spanish only when absolutely necessary as we delve deeper into the finer points of English and continue our study of the business world in that language.
The curriculum consists of nearly five hours of recorded lessons, eight worksheets for at-home study, an interactive story, and a final exam with 50 multiple-choice questions.
This course is designed for individuals who have or are looking for jobs that require significant mastery of English, e.g.: salesperson, sales coordinator, key accounts manager, office manager, inventory manager, branding specialist, team leader, or any other position requiring communication for leadership and supervision.
