2. Intensive Training

More than ten professional trainers from Oxford, Cambridge, SOAS and LSE will guide and teach students in terms of methodology, linguistics, business manners and business cultural knowledge delivered via presentations, multi-media, seminars and group collaboration.

3. Online Learning Forum

This is an online website specially designed for trainees and CIBL alumni which provides a platform for discussion and the sharing of teaching experience. Furthermore, CIBL experts will regularly email alumni various new and updated teaching materials as well as information about forthcoming events and all alumni will benefit from long-term ongoing support.
