UPDATE: DEMYSTIFYING BUSINESS ENGLISH IS NOW AVAILABLE - YOU CAN BUY IT HERE.
What if I told you that Business English wasn’t actually that difficult and complicated?
What if I told you that there are several techniques and principles of “Business English” that will help you impress your boss, colleagues and clients, and succeed in an English-speaking workplace?
We are launching a course to teach you these techniques and principles, and how to apply them in your professional life.
The course is in the final stages of production, and it will be released in early Autumn.
You can already pre-order the course, and you will receive access to it before everyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you making this course?
At Leonardo English, we have received hundreds of messages from people asking for tips about how to improve their English at work.
From how to talk more professionally with colleagues through to how to give great presentations, communicating better at work is one of the most common things non-native speakers want to improve.
But there are two problems with the current world of “Business English”:
- Most “Business English” courses cost €500+ per week (this one is €1,400/week)
- Most “Business English” you learn from textbooks or in classrooms doesn’t actually prepare you for a real English-speaking business. The focus is on keeping you there for a long time (because of reason #1).
With this course, this all changes. It is affordable for all AND its has been designed from experience in real-life businesses, not in real-life classrooms.
Who is this course for?
This course is for non-native speakers who want to improve their “professional” English.
Perhaps you are either already working in an English-speaking business or a business where you have to speak some English with clients.
Or perhaps you want to improve your Business English to get a new job.
The course content is entirely in English, so you should have at least an intermediate level of English. If you can understand English Learning for Curious Minds, you will understand this course.
What will I learn in the course?
In this course, you will learn the principles of successful business communication.
This will include everything from writing amazing job applications through to impressing your interviewer, right through to writing persuasive emails and giving brilliant presentations.
The aim of this course is to give you everything you need to succeed in an English-speaking business.
Here is what we’ll cover in the course*:

Who will be teaching this course?
Alastair Budge, the founder of Leonardo English.
What does he know about “Business English”?
You’re right, that’s a good question.
My knowledge of “Business English” (and everything I’ll teach you in this course) doesn’t come from a textbook or the classroom.
It comes from the 10+ years I've worked with (and interviewed, trained, hired & fired) hundreds of non-native speakers in real English-speaking businesses.
I’ve seen firsthand what makes a non-native speaker succeed and fail in an English-speaking business, and this course will teach you how to succeed in the real world, not in a classroom.
My experience ranges from big companies such as Jaguar Land Rover and Ernst & Young to dozens of smaller start-ups in the UK, Europe and Asia.
