Overview
This Coursera course zeroes in on a very specific and very useful skill: doing business in English with confidence. Rather than teaching grammar in the abstract, it drills the real vocabulary and etiquette of professional networking — placing and taking calls, setting appointments, and keeping written correspondence concise and correctly toned. With over 270,000 learners, it has become a reliable on-ramp for non-native speakers who need to sound polished, not just correct.
Who it's for
Intermediate English speakers stepping into client-facing or cross-border roles — sales, coordination, support, or anyone whose next promotion depends on sounding sharp in a meeting or on the phone.
Key skills
- Business correspondence and email writing
- Phone etiquette for inbound and outbound calls
