Hi @SianDaviesCole other than any local English language courses and apps e.g. Duolingo, maybe having a look through a relevant text book could help to get used to the terms and meanings etc. Maybe even a GCSE/A Level business studies or Economics t…

Hi @TerrierLady I'd say they're good however past papers/tests are much more useful than the text book and notes. I'd make sure you have plenty of practice questions - I used the CII's & also Brand's. I bought Brand's condensed notes for a coupl…
