Curriculum Students in Business Education are given the opportunity to better understand business life through our Business English course. Not only are they taught the fundamental grammar rules, but they also learn to use the various equipment which they will encounter in the business world. Typing II offers students many benefits other than typing. Students learn many new and different techniques which will be of great value to them in the future.
