The course aims to explore the principles underpinning the field of English language based corporate training in terms of why, how and when it is used in a variety of local, regional and global business contexts by professional in-house trainers or outside consultants and how this has evolved over time in response to changing business needs and practices. Students will be introduced to the role of the trainer and the trainee, in addition to understanding what corporate training is, and its relationship to learning, education and development. In addition, students will examine in a holistic sense how English language based corporate training is initiated, organised, positioned, delivered, implemented and evaluated across the lifecycle of a business based training programme in order to enhance generic business practices. Students will evaluate the use of corporate training approaches to proactively and reactively remedy business problems and how to sustain and apply the learning experience beyond the training programme to align it with stakeholder needs and organisational goals.
