Intermediate English Language Course

E-learning Platforms

Hi y’all, I’m looking for an off-the-shelf Intermediate/business English set of courses or curriculum that wouldn’t require a group license or the use of a separate LMS than my company’s own.

I’m not looking for proposals or to build a custom course; I’m specifically searching for existing options that are already set up. If anyone has recommendations or knows of companies that offer such courses, I’d really appreciate it. :wink: :wink:

Hey there,

For off-the-shelf Intermediate or Business English courses that don’t require a separate LMS or group license, you might want to check out platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning. They offer a range of business English courses that are ready to go and can be integrated into your existing system. Additionally, platforms like EnglishClass101 and Babbel for Business provide structured courses that can be accessed individually. These options typically offer flexible access and can be easily incorporated into your company’s learning setup without needing a new LMS.

Also, have you explored options within your company’s LMS? Sometimes, there are hidden gems or partnerships that can provide what you’re looking for.

Check out places like Coursera or Udemy for ready-to-go Intermediate/Business English courses. They don’t need extra licenses or fancy LMS setups. I’ve used Udemy before and found it super easy—great stuff without any hassle.
