Refresher course on business english

The Center for Global Best Practices will host a training program titled, Refresher Course on Business English on Feb. 28 and March 1 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City.

The two-day back-to-basics intensive program will help participants refresh their memory and re-sharpen their skills to master the world’s language for business. The training is guaranteed to bring back that zing, whether one is writing an article, composing a letter, crafting a proposal, editing a document, doing a sales presentation, or making a speech for young and old alike, rank-and-file, or for decision-makers.
