This programme is another promise and commitment by SCI to provide high quality and customized training to create long-term value for our students.

Facing with market challenges and the need to unlock the doors to China for further business opportunities, this course can cater to the needs of a diverse group with various interests.

It will not only equip businessmen, managers and executives with proficiency in writing effective correspondences, but also elevate their work efficiency in building strong bridges with organizations operating in China. The course focuses on improving the participants’ etiquette and conduct, thus strengthening their communication and people skills. Employees will be equipped with broad-base knowledge and understanding of the China market in various aspects, including economy, culture, politics, business practices and education. Thus this course is suitable for CEOs, Professionals, Business Owners, school students and keen learners of Mandarin.

Other than helping a great deal in the China market, this course not only improves the Mandarin language skills for use in the business world, but also perfects the student’s competence in Mandarin.
