Requirements

• English at intermediate level. This builds professional vocabulary, not grammar from scratch
• Some familiarity with people processes helps, since the vocabulary is taught in context
• A notebook or vocabulary app, because thirty lessons of terminology needs revision
• Willingness to speak the terms aloud rather than only recognise them
• A real interview, document or conversation coming up to apply this to

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Your English is fine until the meeting turns to compensation banding, and then you are translating in your head while the conversation moves on without you.

General English courses do not fix this. The gap is not grammar. It is four hundred specific terms nobody taught you.

Where professional English actually breaks

You understand every word and still cannot say what you mean, because the phrase you need is a fixed expression you have never heard. You write a policy and it reads as translated, which quietly costs you authority. In an interview you describe your work in general language while a native speaker with half your experience uses the exact term and sounds like the obvious hire.

The vocabulary is finite and learnable. It just is not in any general course.

Fifteen hours of professional vocabulary

Thirty lessons of terminology across every area of the people function: the business environment, information systems, job analysis and workforce planning, recruiting and selection, the employee life cycle, records and formal documents, performance management and appraisal, training and development, organisational development, total rewards, incentive design, payroll and benefits, global compensation, international assignments and mobility, employee relations, policy writing, safety and workforce risk, strategic planning, data and measures, expatriate performance, workplace culture and cross-cultural teams.

Each lesson covers one area, its standard terms, and the phrasing used when the subject comes up in a meeting or a document.

Both sides of the interview

Then five lessons on being interviewed: how the employer actually decides, self-presentation that sells experience rather than reciting a CV, the questions that recur and what a strong answer sounds like, the difficult topics — salary, dismissals, provocations — and closing well, including follow-up and offer negotiation.

Then four on running an interview yourself: interview types, job profiles, scorecards, STAR, competency maps, active listening, assessing soft and hard skills, avoiding bias, reference checks, documentation and feedback within legal limits.

And six on the job search around it: how recruiters actually work, CV structure and layout, phone screens, burnout during a search, negotiating a rise, and finding hidden roles on LinkedIn.

A note on scope. Two thirds of this course is people-function vocabulary. If you work in that field, it is exactly targeted. If you do not, the interview and career blocks stand alone, and the vocabulary lessons still teach the business register used across corporate English.
