E- Learning Courses
How do courses fulfil your needs?
Designed by Chris Bryce, a former IMC Krems University lecturer and business English teacher of 10 years, our courses make use of student-centred educational techniques, with industry focused tasks and activities that put your career at the heart of your learning. Every topic covered, from harvest to export, from marketing to restaurant service, is always in the context of the wine industry and includes relevant trade terms.
Studying, working and teaching in the wine industry highlighted the specialist language needs of wine professionals. Working and training as a business English teacher taught me how to help people fulfil those needs.
This combined love of wine and education has given me the motivation and passion to create courses that help students to find their voice within the industry they love.
