TESTImonials
"I was preparing for the IELTS exam and didn't know why my score had stopped improving. Ferdia explained exactly where I was losing marks and gave me practical strategies that I could apply immediately. The lessons were structured, motivating, and tailored to my weaknesses. I reached my target band score and finally felt confident on exam day.
I would recommend the programme to anyone serious about improving their English."
Priya, 26

“I started learning English in my late twenties, after a world trip during which I realized how important it is to master the language in order to connect with people from all over the world.
My level really took off after meeting Ferdia. He not only helped me practise and prepare for the Cambridge Advanced Exam through mock exams and other materials, but he also took the time to explain how native English speakers think and use the language. That insight has been truly invaluable to me.
I highly recommend taking classes with Ferdia. He has a unique way of teaching, whether online or in person. You won’t just achieve high scores, you’ll also grow as a person.”

“I started learning English in my late twenties, and travelling made me realise how much my English was holding me back. Working with Ferdia completely changed my confidence. My level improved dramatically after working with Ferdia. The lessons were personalised, practical, and focused on exactly what I needed. His guidance gave me the confidence to communicate naturally in English, both while travelling and in everyday life.
His guidance gave me the confidence to communicate naturally in English, both while travelling and in everyday life. I finally stopped worrying about making mistakes and started enjoying conversations.”

This live online course is designed to help you move beyond textbook English and develop the language and communication skills you need in the real world of work.

Speaking confidently in meetings and discussions
Expressing opinions, agreeing and disagreeing professionally
Making suggestions and recommendations
Professional vocabulary and natural expressions
Presentations and explaining ideas clearly
Interviews and career-related communication
Emails and written workplace communication
Networking and professional small talk

It may be right for you if you:
Can communicate in English but want to sound more natural and professional
Work with international colleagues or clients
Need English for meetings, presentations or interviews
Sometimes struggle to find the right words quickly
Want to communicate more confidently without constantly worrying about mistakes
Are preparing to work in an English-speaking or international environment
Practical English. Real professional situations.
This isn't a course built around memorising long lists of “business vocabulary.”
The focus is on learning how to communicate effectively.
You'll practise realistic situations and learn how experienced English speakers adapt their language depending on the situation—whether you're contributing to a meeting, explaining a problem, disagreeing politely or presenting an idea.
Live online small-group classes
Small groups mean you'll have plenty of opportunities to participate, practise and receive individual feedback.
You'll also learn from communicating with other professionals and English learners from different backgrounds.
Not sure if this course is right for you?
Before joining, you can book a free 40-minute diagnostic with Exam Target Academy.
We'll discuss your current English, the situations where you need English professionally, the difficulties you're experiencing and what you want to achieve.
You'll then have a clearer idea of what you need to work on and whether the Business English & Professional Communication course is the right fit.

Build the confidence to use your English in real life.
Do you already speak English, but feel like you've reached a point where making further progress is difficult?
Perhaps you understand much more than you can comfortably say. You know the grammar, but still make mistakes when speaking. Or you find yourself searching for words, using the same vocabulary again and again, or worrying too much about whether your English is correct.
This course is designed to help you move beyond that stage.
The B1+ General English Programme is a structured, live online course for adults who already have a good foundation in English and want to become more fluent, accurate and confident communicators.

Improving your English requires more than an occasional lesson.
With two live 60-minute classes every week, you'll have regular opportunities to speak, practise new language, receive feedback and continue building on what you've learned.
The aim is not simply to know more English.
It's to become better at using it.
Small-group learning

Group classes give you the opportunity to hear different speakers, participate in real conversations, exchange ideas and become more comfortable communicating spontaneously — while still receiving guidance and correction from your teacher.
