Frequently Asked Questions

In order to study with IBS Americas, it is necessary to have an intermediate to advanced level of English, so that you can interact effectively with colleagues and professors during the courses. The Business English course, however, requires only a basic level of English, making it ideal for those who want to improve their language skills before delving into more complex content. 

A short course is a practical and intensive way to improve your knowledge in a short time, without the need to leave your home country for long periods. These short courses provide a complete immersion in the content, as well as networking opportunities with students of diverse nationalities. Travel to these courses can be carried out with a tourist visa, which simplifies the process of entry into the country, being a convenient option for those seeking a fast and effective international experience.

Courses are 3 weeks with classes from Monday to Wednesday full-time. The student will take the administration module in one period and, in the case of students from the United States and England, the English module in another. In Italy, the other period is dedicated to the preparation of the work to be presented at the end of the course. 
On Thursdays, students in the thematic courses have company visits or lectures with local executives.
