Business Spanish for Professionals In today's globalized world, the professional arena is dynamic and internationally focused. Globalization translates to new demands on the work force - one unavoidable reality is the importance of improving or enhancing linguistic skills. Throughout the Americas and Europe the importance of Spanish in the business world is indisputable. CPI's Spanish Business Program aims to develop the language skills of professionals already employed in this area, for those seeking new opportunities and for entrepreneurs considering business development and/or expansion.
Business Spanish for Professionals, a practical Spanish course offered by the CPI Heredia site, in two different schedules.
REGULAR SCHEDULE: Each level consists of 5.5 hours of Spanish class daily - 8:00am to 2:30pm - and 2 visits per week to a local business. In this schedule the participants will have the opportunity to take excursions in the afternoons. Also, people who travel with friends or family members who are participating in the Standard Spanish Program will be able to share the same schedule and do activities together in the afternoons and/or on the weekends. The classes are for maximum 4 people, but if there is only one person taking the Seminar the same rate and schedule applies. Classes start every Monday all year round. Ideally, the course is for 3 consecutive weeks with 27.5 hours of study per week. However, the curriculum has been made flexible to allow students to study for one, two or three weeks.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE: CPI understands that is not always a possible schedule for people who are traveling with time restrictions. As a result, this Seminar has been organized to offer the option of choosing which days of the week they would like to start and end classes as well. For example, if a student prefers a more intensive schedule in which he/she completes the program in 4 days, attending 7 hours of class per day, Wednesday through Saturday it would be possible. The flexible schedule should be confirmed by our Admissions Office before your registration and it may be not available in some weeks in the year. COST: The price for each week or packet of 27.5 hours is US$585. Lodging and tours are offered separately. Click here to see lodging options. Click here to see tours options.
Week 1 The first week introduces students to basic questions and dialogue that are fundamental within the work place. During this week the student develops skills of introduction, the ability to describe their profession and type of company, daily functions for themselves as well as for their colleagues.
Week 2 The second week introduces students to ask more advanced and formal questions to their work colleagues or business partners. During this week students learn to manage the tools necessary to compare and contrast: products, professions, companies and cultural issues.
Week 3 The third week teaches students the Spanish they require in order to interview candidates for certain positions. Practice exercises are created to enable students to solve certain real life situations that could occur within their company. During this week students should have a good command of using the past tense, permitting them to describe their first job and talk about any error or business regret that they may have had in the past. Students are given the necessary tools to be able to discuss topics such as "What would happen if countries like Japan lose their economic power", using the conditional tense.
