Professional English

The Professional English course was designed and developed by language experts from Universidad Internacional de Ecuador and Cintana Education by leveraging and customizing ASU course content and creating original content.
It is a practical, hands-on course that teaches students how to present themselves and how to communicate more effectively in a professional environment. Along 8 modules students are introduced to personal branding, email writing, short proposal writing, non-verbal and oral communicating and delivering an effective presentation.
Students will be ready to face their career and have the communication tools needed to become successful professionals.
